The bucket(s) of sanitizer should be set up at the start of each day prior to handling food. All food contact
surfaces including knives, cutting boards, meat slicers, and all other equipment and utensils for preparation or
serving, must be cleaned and sanitized after each use. For example, after slicing meats, all equipment and
utensils should be sanitized before preparing vegetables. Sanitizing can be accomplished by using an approved
dishwashing method or by using a clean wiping cloth that has been rinsed in a sanitizing solution. Before you
sanitize a surface, it must be clean to sight and touch. Additionally, all food contact surfaces should be
thoroughly cleaned and sanitized at opening and closing times, and of course, whenever contaminated.
