Sanitizing
When cleaning with sanitizers, always fol- low the recommendations on the manufac- turer’s label, and make sure that the product will do the job for which you intend. Never use a product that will cause exposed sur- faces to render meat unsafe for human con- sumption. Failure to follow this warning may lead to sickness or death!
Some sanitizers require direct applications, while others are designed to be diluted in water and used to soak the item for a specified period of time. The best method for choosing a chemical sanitizer is to do the research and determine which product is best for your particular situation.
Do not use chlorine bleach to sanitize the meat grinder components, since it corrodes steel and aluminum and may discolor plastic. Iodophors, chlorine dioxide, acidic hydrogen peroxide, acidic- anionic and quaternary ammonium compounds are alternatives to chlorine bleach, though some of these chemicals are also corrosive and can stain plastic.
Per FDA food code, sanitize with hot water, mak- ing sure the water is at least 171°F and the cleaned items are immersed for at least 30 sec- onds. Do not use a dishwasher to sanitize the grinder components.
After sanitizing, rinse the grinder components thoroughly, dry, then wipe all
Bacteria from raw meat has been frequently linked to illness and even death! Describing proper meat handling techniques outside of cleaning the meat grinder is beyond the scope of these instructions. If you are unclear about sanitary meat handling prac- tices, contact your local Board of Health or the USDA to research the proper methods.
