imum allowable EPA food contact levels, three studies of RPCs taken from the distribution stream recorded only a 2- to 3.48-log reduction out of the 5-log required. Scientists use log reductions, rather than percentages, to represent the actual number of living cells after sanitization. The surviving cells after a log reduction have the potential to transfer to products or surfaces.
To sanitize the RPCs, researchers tested sodium hypochlorite and peracetic acid, both which have been approved fo
