Most commercial kitchens run on chlorine or QUAT sanitizers. Both are mixed from concentrate, checked with test strips, and breathed by the line all shift. LEXX® takes a different approach. The active ingredient is citric acid, and every product ships ready to use, so there is nothing to mix and no concentration to verify.

LEXX® RTU Liquid Food Contact Surface Sanitizer & Cleaner (EPA Reg. No. 91452-5) is NSF listed in Categories A1 and D2. It kills 99.999% of Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and Staph in 60 seconds on hard, non-porous food contact surfaces, with no rinse. The rest of the line covers restrooms and high-touch surfaces, produce, and front of house. Every product on this page is sold on Amazon.

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.
