Contamination of Food Contact Surfaces by Germs during Food Preparation and Consumption

The soiling of food contact surfaces with germs takes place in the normal course of preparing, handling and consuming food. Any surface that comes in contact with uncooked meat, poultry, or fish may become contaminated with bacteria such as E. coli. EPA has recognized that surfaces and articles such as glasses, dishes, and utensils that become soiled with infectious microorganisms found in bodily fluids (saliva and/or blood) can be associated with the potential for the transmission of disease, including HIV-1 (AIDS Virus) through cross-contamination. Persons with infectious diseases patronize public eating and drinking establishments which can create a potential for the spread of disease.

Accepted and registered by the EPA

Tested and evaluated under strict EPA testing protocols, STERAMINE 1-G TABLETS is the first sanitizing product to be developed that has been accepted and registered by the EPA as being effective in killing not only infectious bacteria but HIV-1 (AIDS Virus) as well.
