What Should a Food Manufacturing Cleaning Specification Include?

It should reflect the manufacturer's food-safety system and be capable of surviving an audit.

How Should Cleaning Contractors Prepare for BRCGS and Customer Audits?

That means clear specifications, trained operatives, controlled chemicals and equipment, completion records, effective supervision, audits and evidence that failures lead to corrective action.
