Vendor Proper Cleaning Protocol

Vendors must clean and sanitize their supplies and equipment regularly: 

For surfaces that will be in contact with food or food products (such as produce bins, coolers, boxes, tools), use detergents and sanitizing solutions that are food safe:  

1. Clean the surface with a detergent (for example, Dawn dish detergent) and rinse thoroughly. 
2. Use an EPA-approved sanitizer product that is approved for use on food contact surfaces. 
3. Follow the label instructions for the sanitizer you use when mixing, applying and storing it. Some sanitizers require contact time on the surface to be effective, and others require a rinse step. 
4. Allow the surface to air dry. 

To clean and sanitize surfaces that will not come into contact with food or food products (such as chairs, tables, truck beds): 

1. Clean the surface with a detergent (for example, Dawn dish detergent) and rinse thoroughly. 
2. Use a product that the EPA has approved for use against viruses and other emerging pathogens.
3. Follow the label instructions for the sanitizer you use when mixing, applying and storing it. Some sanitizers require contact time on the surface to be effective, and others require a rinse step.
4. Allow the surface to air dry. 

These guidelines will be shared with the public through email, social media and on the Danbury Farmers’ Market website.
