The search results provide information on different aspects of products, including their details, positive and negative aspects, and ingredients or materials. Here is a summary of the information found in the search results:
-
Food Labels: The Better Health Channel explains that ingredients are listed on products in descending order by weight so that the first ingredient listed is always present in the largest amount. If an ingredient makes up less than 5% of the food, it does not have to be listed. Likewise, any compound ingredients that make up less than 5% of the product can just be listed as the compound ingredient rather than all of its own ingredients. Unpackaged foods and foods in small packages (with a surface area of less than 100cm2) are not required to carry a list of ingredients and therefore, do not need to list any additives. Additives included in compound ingredients (that make up less than 5% of the food) do not have to be listed, unless the additives in the compound ingredient perform a specific purpose in the final product. However, any additive that is also an allergen must be declared.

Equipment Cleaning and Sanitizing: The University of Florida explains the details of equipment cleaning and sanitizing procedures in food-processing and/or food-handling operations. The document explains that soils vary widely in composition, and no one detergent is capable of removing all types. Many complex films contain combinations of food components, surface oil or dust, insoluble cleaner components, and insoluble hard-water salts. Other concerns are phosphates, which are not tolerated in some regions of the U.S., and the overall soil load in the waste stream that contributes to the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD). Detergents and cleaning compounds are usually composed of mixtures of ingredients that interact with soils in several ways.
