What should the PPM of the K5 sanitizer be?

The correct PPM (parts per million) setting for the K5 sanitizer is 100 PPM. This concentration is within the recommended range for effective sanitation, ensuring that surfaces and equipment are properly disinfected to prevent the spread of pathogens, while also being safe for food contact surfaces.

Using a sanitizer at this level is critical because it strikes a balance between efficacy and safety; too low of a concentration may not effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms, while too high can lead to harmful residues on food surfaces. The 100 PPM concentration is widely recognized in food safety standards as optimal for sanitizing without compromising food safety.

In commercial food service environments, adherence to this standard ensures compliance with health regulations, maintaining a safe and clean environment for both staff and customers.
