How often should surfaces be sanitized in a food processing area?

Surfaces in food processing areas can get contaminated by bacteria like Salmonella and norovirus, so it is important to clean and sanitize them often with a foodservice surface sanitizer spray. Sanitize whenever there is a chance of contamination and at least every four hours. Use the right amount, which is usually a few fluid ounces per gallon of water, and rinse if needed. The cleaning frequency may change based on the product you use and how you apply it.
