For SQF edition 8 what is typically seen is establishment of hygienic Zones - 1 food contact surfaces and utensils/equip. 2 - Cross contamination surfaces in close proximity to Zone 1 areas. 3 - Areas of manufacturing and low-risk (walls, floors drains etc). 4 Areas directly leading into the manufacturing area. Perform routine environmental swabs of each Zone; Zone 1 (x times per week), Zone 2 (x times per week), Zone 3 (x times bi-weekly), Zone 4 (x times monthly or quarterly depending on results).
You should be cleaning contact surfaces and testing via preop-inspection and/or ATP swabs or some other indicating system...law states "visually clean" at the least. Use excel to track results unless you have a budget for software.

Hi dstout,
Thks yr useful analysis. The zone 1 sampling is often quietly omitted of course.
I wondered how you quantitate the "x" ? Reference to other published "Best Practices" ?
Kind Regards,
