Organic food processors and food handlers in need of a surface sanitizer without quaternary ammonium (quat), now have an effective product for cleaning and sanitizing food contact and non-food contact surfaces in their facilities.

Originally released in 2017, Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer is now OMRI Listed®. Alpet D2 Quat-Free can be used in organic production and processing as a cleaner or sanitizer.

OMRI Listed® Products are allowed for use in certified organic facilities under the USDA National Organic Program.

Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer kills 99.9% of tested bacteria in 10 seconds on pre-cleaned, non-food contact surfaces, including non-porous, waterproof footwear. It is NSF listed, Kosher, Pareve, and Halal certified. Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer may be a good solution for the many organic growers, manufacturers and packers who are looking for a quat-free sanitizer.
