SANITIZING

Prior to starting the freezer with the product that will be served, the freezer
must be sanitized-
Sanitizing the freezer
is
most important as the procedure retards the growth
of bacteria and insures acceptable product test results when examined by local
Health and/or Agriculture Departments.
The frequency of cleaning and sanitizing cycles must comply with local Health
Regulations. If uncertain about the regulations in your area, contact the local
Board of Health or Department of Agriculture.
To begin the sanitizing process, you
will
need a clean pail, wire wisk, and a
soft plastic bristle brush.
