What is the acceptable PPM range for Quat Sanitizer?

The acceptable PPM (parts per million) range for Quat (quaternary ammonium compounds) sanitizer typically falls within the range of 150 to 400 PPM. This concentration is effective in disinfecting surfaces and killing a wide array of pathogens commonly found in food service environments.

Using Quat sanitizer within this range ensures that it is sufficiently potent for sanitizing without being too strong, which can lead to residue issues or potential health risks for those handling food or surfaces. It’s crucial to follow manufacturer guidelines and health regulations to maintain food safety standards.

The other options fall outside this optimal range, indicating either insufficient sanitizing capacity or a potential for over-concentration, which could compromise safety or sanitation effectiveness.
