Pharmaceutical Cleaning

Implementing Effective Pharmaceutical Sanitation

Pharmaceutical Cleaning

While at first glance, Pharmaceutical Cleaning and food industry cleaning might seem to be separate endeavors. However, there is considerable overlap. If you think of something like protection of food products from extremely low concentrations of allergens from a separate batch, or even a separate production area you will quickly realize that the challenges of very thorough cleaning and sanitizing.

    More and more, techniques and products developed with pharmaceutical applications in mind are finding use in food processing plants. For example, non-absorbent wall surfaces which are easily cleanable, resistant to microbial growth as well as allergen-containing dust were developed in pharmaceutical processing and are now being adopted in food processing contexts. Gel-coated reinforced fiberglass panels are just one example.

    Here are some examples of characteristics that are common cleaning and sanitizing requirements in both arenas:

    • Biological and allergen contamination, even at very low concentrations, can be extremely dangerous.
    • Sanitation chemicals should ideally be non-toxic, biologically inactive and be able to be very thoroughly rinsed away.
    • Very thorough and specific government regulations must be followed, and are in fact administered in many cases by the same federal agency, the Food and Drug administration
    • The consequences of cleaning and sanitation failure are potentially enormous, from a public health perspective, from a business perspective, and from a career perspective for those who take on the duties of "responsible educated management".
    • Employees must be trained and given incentives to be extremely fastidious and thorough in all tasks involving cleaning and sanitation. Management oversight in these areas is essential.

    The overlap and cross-fertilization of protocol, materials, and technique from food processing and pharmaceutical cleaning and sanitizing technologies will no doubt continue to enrich and improve both industries.
