ABSTRACT
Clean is clean. Sanitarians do not like to argue about degrees of sanitation or cleanliness. To these professionals and, one can say, for everybody who works in a food plant, sanitation should be a way of life. It is everyone’s responsibility to help keep a food plant clean and contribute to a successful sanitation program. In the competitive food plant arena, the days no longer exist that employees can rely on leaving their work areas dirty because “sanitation will come by later to clean it up.” Although this overview of food plant sanitation programs is cached in rather informal language, the subject itself is one of greatest seriousness and deserves the reader’s concentrated attention and action.
