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
