Sanitization in Salt Lake City
Replace Quaternary Ammonium Compounds and harsh chemical sanitizers with USDA Certified Organic HOCl. No-rinse, food contact safe, FSIS compliant — and the only organic antimicrobial in its class.
Why OHS for Food Facilities?
- No rinse required on food contact surfaces
- Listed in FSIS Directive 7120
- USDA Certified Organic #Z-699995-2008
- EPA Registered #97801-1
- Penetrates biofilm on equipment surfaces
- No harsh chemical odor or residue
The Pathogen Pressure Food Facilities Face Every Day
Food processing and manufacturing environments are among the highest-risk sanitation settings in any industry. A single contamination event can trigger recalls, regulatory shutdowns, and irreversible brand damage.
-
!
Listeria monocytogenes thrives in cold, wet processing environments. Ready-to-eat facilities, meat packing plants, and dairy operations face constant Listeria pressure — especially in drains, floor cracks, and equipment seams where conventional sanitizers struggle to penetrate biofilm.
-
!
Quaternary Ammonium Compounds are losing effectiveness. QACs — the most widely used sanitizer class in food facilities — face growing resistance from target pathogens and leave chemical residues that require additional rinsing and safety protocols.
-
!
FSIS inspectors are scrutinizing sanitation programs more closely. Under 9 CFR Part 416, establishments must demonstrate documented, effective sanitation procedures. An outdated chemical program is an audit risk.
-
!
Organic product lines need organic-certified inputs. If your facility processes or packages organic products, your sanitization program must align. Most conventional sanitizers disqualify the line. HOCl doesn't.
HOCl — The Organic Alternative
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the same antimicrobial molecule your white blood cells produce to fight infection. It is:
Facility Types We Serve
HOCl is effective across the full spectrum of food processing and manufacturing environments
Meat Packing & Poultry
High-throughput facilities with Listeria and Salmonella pressure. HOCl is listed in FSIS Directive 7120 for use on red meat and poultry carcasses and processing surfaces. No rinse required on food contact surfaces.
Ready-to-Eat Facilities
RTE operations face the strictest Listeria control requirements under FSIS. HOCl's biofilm-penetrating properties make it especially effective in the drains, cracks, and equipment seams where Listeria establishes persistent harborage sites.
Dairy Processing
Dairy environments demand sanitizers that are effective at low temperatures and compatible with stainless steel equipment. HOCl meets both requirements and carries no harsh residue that could affect product flavor profiles.
Produce Packing
Fresh produce operations need food contact safe sanitizers that won't accelerate oxidation or leave chemical taste on product. HOCl biodegrades to simple salt water — no residue, no flavor impact, no secondary rinse required.
Beverage Production
Breweries, bottling lines, and juice facilities face biofilm and yeast contamination challenges. HOCl is compatible with production line surfaces and does not leave any taste or odor carry-over that could compromise product integrity.
Organic Product Lines
If your facility processes or packages USDA Certified Organic products, your sanitization inputs must be certified organic-compliant. OHS HOCl holds USDA Organic certification #Z-699995-2008 — compatible with organic program requirements.

Biofilm & Surface Control
Unlike QACs, HOCl penetrates and disrupts biofilm matrices — the persistent microbial communities that form on drains, gaskets, conveyor belts, and equipment seams. Disrupting biofilm is essential for long-term Listeria control in RTE and meat packing environments.
Operational Advantages
HOCl is approved for use as a no-rinse sanitizer on food contact surfaces. Eliminate the rinse step, reduce water use, and cut downtime between production runs.
No extended ventilation or evacuation periods required. Facilities can resume production quickly after HOCl treatment with no chemical odor or respiratory concern for workers.
No PPE required for HOCl application at use concentration. Reduces chemical exposure risk to sanitation workers — a growing liability concern in food manufacturing environments.
HOCl can be integrated into your current clean-in-place and clean-out-of-place sanitation protocols. Works with fogging, spray application, and direct surface treatment.
FSIS Compliant & Audit Ready
Organic HypoSolutions HOCl is listed in FSIS Directive 7120 as an approved antimicrobial substance for use in USDA-inspected meat and poultry establishments under 9 CFR Parts 416 and 424.
Pre-Operational Sanitation
HOCl can be used as part of your documented pre-operational sanitation procedures required under 9 CFR 416.13. Application methods, concentration levels, and contact times are documentable for FSIS inspection records.
Operational Sanitation
As a food contact safe, no-rinse sanitizer, HOCl can be applied during operations without adulterating product — a key compliance requirement under 9 CFR 416.14.
Organic Program Compatibility
For establishments processing USDA Certified Organic products, HOCl's USDA Organic certification (#Z-699995-2008) makes it a compliant sanitization input under NOP guidelines — unlike most conventional sanitizers.
Our Certifications & Registrations
Our Service Process
Tailored integration into your existing sanitation program — not a replacement that disrupts operations
Facility Assessment
We evaluate your facility type, production schedule, existing sanitation program, FSIS requirements, and target pathogen concerns to design an HOCl integration plan that fits your operation.
Program Integration
We work with your QA/food safety team to integrate HOCl into your SSOP and HACCP documentation. Application methods, concentrations, contact times, and verification protocols are established before day one.
HOCl Application
Professional fogging, spray, or direct application depending on facility areas — food contact surfaces, drains, walls, equipment, and air handling zones. No rinse required. Workers can re-enter quickly with no chemical odor or PPE concern.
Documentation & Verification
We provide service documentation for your FSIS sanitation records. Concentration verification, application logs, and compliance records are provided with every service — audit ready from day one.
