Hi,
You should use caution when selecting the product e.g. chlorhexidine, as
some of the chemical ingredients are not necessarily deemed food safe.
The FDA in the USA has a bit of a write up about hand sanitisers & is
working with the CDC to develop guidelines for the Food Industry.

yAssistanceandTrainingResources/ucm135577.htm
Education as to when hand sanisitisers can be used is very important.
Hand sanitisers do have a place but staff need to be aware of the need to
hand wash during food preparation to remove invisible fats & proteinaceous
matter that can be on hands when preparing food.
Cheers

Dear All,
We are currently looking for a alcohol based hand sanitiser to use in our
Food Service Department. I was wondering what the practices are out there,
and what product you are using in your Food Service Departments and on your
food delivering trolleys?
Thank you and regards
