January 23, 2009, Newsletter Issue #146: Cool Water Kills Germs

Tip of the Week

Did you know that you don’t need hot water in order to wash dishes effectively? Cooler water will work just was well to kill germs on food plates, as long as a small amount of dish sanitizer containing ammonia is used. Washing in hot, soapy water will kill bacteria like E.coli, but if that is not available, the dish sanitizer-and-room-temperature-water method works just as well. When hand-washing, government recommendations state that restaurants should use water heated to at least 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
