Cleaning and disinfection plan (C&D)

What is a cleaning and disinfection plan (C&D)?

A cleaning and disinfection plan (C&D) is the documented program that defines how, when, with which products, and who sanitizes the facilities and equipment of a food plant. It sets frequencies, methods and owners for each area.

Verifying it is key to preventing contamination and is part of the prerequisite programs of the HACCP system.
