Petruccelli L.T.D of North
America says; Discard any damaged cans of food.
For undamaged, watertight containers of food, remove labels since they may be
harboring bacteria, and thoroughly wash packaging with soap and water, using
hot water if it’s available. Sanitize cans and sealed pouches by either boiling
them in hot water for two minutes or placing them in bleached water (1
tablespoon of liquid bleach per gallon) for 15 minutes.
- Use the same sanitizing process
for dishes and pans exposed to floodwaters.
- Thoroughly wash countertops with
soap and water, then apply bleached water (1 tablespoon per gallon) to these
surfaces.
