What makes a sanitizer approved for food contact surfaces?
A food contact sanitizer needs an EPA registration for that use, and its label sets the contact time and whether a rinse is required. Many operators and inspectors also look for NSF listing. NSF took over the former USDA authorization program for nonfood compounds in 1999, which is why people still ask for USDA approved sanitizers.
In the NSF program, Category D2 covers sanitizers that do not need a rinse after use on food contact surfaces, and Category A1 covers general cleaners for use in and around food processing areas. LEXX® RTU Liquid Food Contact Surface Sanitizer & Cleaner holds both, along with EPA Reg. No. 91452-5.
Your local health department sets the code your kitchen is inspected against. Check the label directions against it, and keep the Safety Data Sheet on file.
Sanitizing without chlorine or QUATS
Chlorine and quaternary ammonium (QUAT) sanitizers are the most common choices in commercial kitchens. Both are diluted from concentrate, so strength depends on the mix and is usually checked with test strips. Chlorine also gives off fumes and is corrosive to metal over time.
LEXX® uses citric acid as its active ingredient. The sanitizer ships ready to use at label strength, is non-corrosive and fragrance free, and leaves no sticky residue. It is free from bleach, chlorine, QUATS, and thymol, and it has a 2 year shelf life.

The sanitizer and disinfectant are sold on Amazon in 32 oz spray bottles and 1 gallon refills. The Fruit & Vegetable Wash and Multi-Purpose Cleaner come in 32 oz sprays. An Amazon Business account shows business pricing and quantity discounts on the same listings and supports tax exempt purchasing.
