Esperanza Carrion, Vice President & General Manager

In the fast-paced, competitive food industry, adhering to a strong food safety protocol isn’t just a regulatory must-have — it’s a consumer requirement. Whether you’re running a quick-service restaurant, a fine dining establishment, a grocery store, a healthcare foodservice operation or a food processing plant, the safety of your food and the hygiene of your environment can directly impact your reputation and the well-being of every person who consumes your food.

Sanitation is a cornerstone of food safety, focusing on practices like hand hygiene and surface cleanliness to minimize and eliminate harmful pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses. These pathogens spread quickly throughout an operation, transferring via contaminated food, towels, surfaces, or unwashed hands. This can compromise prep areas, equipment, utensils, and other foods, making cross-contamination a major risk at nearly every stage of food handling. Common scenarios that can lead to foodborne illnesses include:

• Ready-to-eat food coming into contact with contaminated surfaces.
• Adding contaminated ingredients to food that will not be cooked further.
• Contaminated food touching or dripping onto cooked or ready-to-eat food.
• Food handlers spreading pathogens by touching contaminated food and then ready-to-eat food.
• Contaminated cleaning towels touching food-contact surfaces.

With proper surface and hand sanitization protocols in place, foodborne illness outbreaks and food code violations can be avoided. Sani Professional®, Food Business Reviews’ 2025 Food Safety Product Company of the Year, provides a practical labor-saving and efficient solution to achieving and maintaining sanitation in the food industry. Backed by over 60 years of innovation, Sani Professional is a leader in the foodservice wipes market. Sani Professional’s parent company, PDI, also includes PDI healthcare division, a leader in surface disinfection wipes for healthcare. Together these divisions are committed to combating infections and enhancing hygiene in their respective industries.

Sani Professional® products eliminate the need for complicated cleaning protocols. With a mission to make food safety simple, Sani Professional’s ready-to-use wipes (RTU) are standardized to release the right amount of sanitizer or disinfectant with each use. This removes the complexity of mixing and measuring required by the traditional cloth and bucket method which makes the job faster, reduces the risk of human error and makes training simple. Sani Professional® understands that today’s food businesses need effective, easy-to-use, time-saving solutions that help their staff satisfy state and local health codes and food safety best practices. The Sani Professional® product portfolio features intuitive color coding and clear labeling to minimize misuse and ensure the right product is used for the right task: Cleaning (Green), Sanitizing (Red), Disinfecting (Gray), and Hands (Blue).

At Sani Professional®, we go beyond simply offering products—we provide complete solutions. Here’s how these wipes can bring additional value to your business:
• Our RTU wipes reduce labor, eliminate the need for buckets, cloths, spray bottles, laundering and streamline your cleaning process.
• Sani Professional® products meet stringent regulatory adherence, upholding rules and regulations set by EPA and FDA agencies.
• Visible cleaning and hygiene practices with single-use wipes boost customer and staff trust, especially in a post-pandemic world where safety and cleanliness are top concerns.
• Sani Professional® products require less training than traditional mixing and measuring cleaning methods, and we offer bi-lingual food safety resources and best-practice guidelines to support your team in achieving a culture of excellence.

By simplifying cleaning, sanitizing, disinfecting and hand hygiene protocols, Sani Professional® can help the food industry improve food safety measures in less time while safeguarding the business’ reputation and bottom line.
