Is the Object sterilization and disinfection water gun safe to use on food contact surfaces?

Object sterilization and disinfection water gun is a device specifically used for sterilization and disinfection, using hypochlorous acid water or sodium hypochlorite water as a disinfectant. Safety is critical when used on food contact surfaces.

First, we need to understand the composition of the disinfectant used by the Object sterilization and disinfection water gun - hypochlorous acid water or sodium hypochlorite water and its safety on food contact surfaces:

Hypochlorous acid water (HOCl): Hypochlorous acid water is a weak acid disinfectant, and its main component is hypochlorous acid (HOCl). At appropriate concentrations, hypochlorous acid water has a high killing effect on most bacteria, viruses and fungi, and is also considered relatively safe when used on food contact surfaces.

Sodium hypochlorite water (NaOCl): Sodium hypochlorite water is a sodium salt solution of hypochlorous acid, and its main active ingredients are free hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite. Although sodium hypochlorite can also effectively kill bacteria at appropriate concentrations, its use on food contact surfaces should be cautious to avoid food contamination or consumer health effects.

In order to safely use the Object sterilization and disinfection water gun on food contact surfaces, the following are the key steps and precautions that should be followed:

Preparation before food contact: Before use, make sure that the food contact surface is clean and free of obvious dirt and residue.

Disinfectant concentration control: Use hypochlorous acid water or sodium hypochlorite water of appropriate concentration for spraying, and dilute the disinfectant according to the concentration recommended by the manufacturer to ensure safe and effective disinfection.

Uniform spraying and coverage: Spray the disinfectant evenly to ensure that every part of the food contact surface is fully covered to ensure the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the disinfection.

Waiting time and cleaning: According to the instructions for use of the disinfectant, wait for the appropriate time for it to fully exert its bactericidal effect, and then rinse the surface with clean water as needed to remove residual disinfectant and killed microorganisms.

Food safety and testing: After using the disinfectant to treat the food contact surface, proper cleaning and testing must be carried out to ensure that the food is not affected by the disinfectant residue and ensure food safety.
