Sanitation

• Establish and document standard sanitation procedures for every workspace, equipment, and tool. Include cleaning frequency, approved cleaning agents, concentrations, and contact times.

• Require and document personal hygiene protocols for staff: handwashing, gloves, hairnets, clean clothing, and illness policies.

• Implement a sanitation log system with dates, times, responsible staff initials, and verification checks.

• Use color-coded tools and dedicated containers to prevent cross-contamination between raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods.

• Schedule periodic third-party sanitation audits and internal inspections to ensure ongoing compliance with local regulations and best practices.

Setup

• Design a dedicated production area with separate zones for raw material receiving, weighing, mixing, filling, labeling, and storage
