ABSTRACT
Sanitation is a vital ingredient in the area of food safety [1]. Some have viewed a sanitation program as a “necessary evil” when in reality a successful sanitation program is the number one reason for product success. Whenever a processor takes a chance (and at the same time likely violates the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) and allows a product to be packed or processed under unsanitary conditions, product degradation may be expected.
