7-204.11: Sanitizers, Criteria-Chemicals. At 8/5/25 inspection the 3 compartment sink sanitizer is over 400 ppm. Proper quat concentration is 200 ppm unless the manufacturer's bottle recommends a different level. The test strip turned blue. Employees test strips resulted in a ppm that was significantly lower. Manager asked if inspector's test strips were expired. Inspector explained to manager that the inspector's test strips have instructions to dip the strip for 1 second and more than likely McDonald employee's should be dipping their test strip for 10 seconds. Inspector advised the employees to read the instructions for their strips. Employee's strip instructions were to dip in the solution for 10 seconds. After their strip was dipped correctly, it resulted in a much higher quat concentration. The quat concentration was too high and many corrections were made to obtain quat at 200 ppm. Sanitizer concentration above the recommended level can be toxic. Inspector advised the PIC and manager to contact a service provider to ensure the sanitizer is at the proper quat level. |
