Alpet D2 is FDA 21 CFR compliant for use on food-contact surfaces without a water rinse. Labeled directions support your food safety plan.
Documentation packages include sanitizer validation protocols, monitoring log templates, and verification schedules for your audit binder.
Flagship Alpet D2 Surface Sanitizer carries a unique EPA registration. Verify directly in the EPA Pesticide Product and Label System (PPLS).
Surface sanitation is where food-safety wins and losses happen.
Audits, line speed, and cross-contamination risk all converge on the surfaces your product contacts.
Audit exposure
Listeria findings on food-contact zones are one of the fastest ways to earn a corrective action. Your surface sanitizer choice sits in the middle of that conversation.
Pair Alpet D2 documentation with your HACCP plan so the auditor sees a validated sanitizer, not a scramble.
Line speed
30-second contact time means the sanitation step fits between production runs, not in place of them.
No-rinse formulas keep water and labor out of the critical path on every changeover.
Cross-contamination
Surfaces move pathogens faster than anything else in a food facility — a conveyor, a cutting board, a filling head.
Matching the right D2 chemistry to each surface type removes the "we hope this works" layer from your sanitation program.
Where D2 surface sanitizers fit
Match the chemistry to the soil, the surface, and the regulatory expectation.
Food processing lines
Conveyors, fillers, equipment surfaces, packaging zones, CIP returns.
Commercial kitchens
Prep tables, cutting boards, expo lines, walk-in entries, 3-comp sinks.
Healthcare + patient care
High-touch patient-area surfaces, medication carts, exam rooms.
Deli + grocery prep
Slicer bases, display cases, prep counters, scale decks, cart surfaces.
Industrial manufacturing
Tool stations, equipment housings, breakroom surfaces, common areas.
When and how to use surface sanitizer
Surface sanitizing is step three in the clean/rinse/sanitize sequence. It only works when the surface has already been cleaned and free of visible soil.
Use Alpet D2 for
- Food-contact surfaces after cleaning (no rinse required)
- Prep tables, cutting boards, slicers, conveyors
- Routine sanitation between production runs
- Audit-sensitive zones that need documented kill claims
Reach for something else when
- Heavy pathogen load calls for peracetic acid
- Floor drains and environmental zones need floor-specific chemistry
- Wipes are more practical than spraying (use D2 disinfectant wipes)
- Surfaces aren't yet clean — wash first, then sanitize
Always follow product label directions and your facility's HACCP plan. For Alpet D2 SDS, labels, and EPA registration documents, see /resources.

Surface sanitizer FAQs
From food-contact use, audit documentation, and dispensing options.
Are all disinfectant wipes safe for food contact surfaces?
No. Most disinfectant wipes on the market are not cleared for food contact surfaces, and using one there means a rinse step — or a violation. A wipe is safe for food contact only if its own label says so.
Three things to check on the label before a wipe touches a food contact surface:
- An EPA registration number, with food contact surface sanitizing in the directions for use. If the label does not name food contact surfaces, it is not approved for them.
- A no-rinse statement. Many disinfectants require a potable-water rinse after the contact time. A true food contact sanitizer does not.
- The stated contact time — how long the surface must stay visibly wet. This is the step most often skipped, and it is what an auditor checks.
Alpet D2 Surface Sanitizing Wipes (EPA Reg. No. 73232-2, NSF Listed #156646) meet all three: no-rinse on hard, non-porous food contact surfaces, with a 99.999% reduction of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and Listeria monocytogenes when the surface stays wet for 60 seconds. On non-food contact surfaces the claim is 99.9% in 10 seconds.
Even a food-safe wipe has limits. The Alpet D2 wipe label excludes eating utensils, dishes, glassware, cookware, and wood cutting boards, along with porous surfaces a wipe cannot reach — and it is not for personal cleansing.
Are D2 Sanitizers products safe for use around food and customers?
Yes, when used as directed. Alpet D2 Surface Sanitizer (EPA Reg. No. 73232-1) and Alpet D2 Surface Sanitizing Wipes (EPA Reg. No. 73232-2) are both EPA-registered, NSF-listed Category D2 no-rinse sanitizers for hard, non-porous food contact surfaces — no potable water rinse is required after sanitizing. On food contact surfaces the label claim is 99.999% of the listed bacteria in 60 seconds; on non-food contact surfaces it is 99.9% in 10 seconds. Preclean surfaces before sanitizing, and follow the precautionary statements on the container.
Are there harsh chemicals in Smart-San All-Purpose wipes?
No, Smart-San All-Purpose Wipes contain two main active ingredients: ethanol and isopropyl. Neither component is tough on skin or harmful to users.
Can D2 Sanitizers products be used on all types of food contact surface?
D2 Sanitizers products are very versatile. The surface sanitizer spray is highly effective, quickly cleaning and disinfecting a variety of food contact surface. Our products work well on many hard and soft surfaces. However, always look at the product label to see if it is safe for a specific surface. If you are unsure, you can try a quick test on a hidden spot to check if the material is safe.
Can this soap or sanitizer cause allergic reactions?
The formulated ingredients are safe for customers and free of eight food allergens. The active ingredients are not exposed to the following allergens: milk, egg, fish, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, crustacean shellfish and tree nuts.
Do Alpet D2 wipes need a rinse on food contact surfaces?
No. Alpet D2 Surface Sanitizing Wipes (EPA Reg. No. 73232-2) are a no-rinse sanitizer for hard, non-porous food contact surfaces. Preclean the surface, then use enough wipes to keep it thoroughly wetted for 60 seconds and allow it to air dry.
Two label limits are worth knowing before you standardize on them: do not use the wipes to sanitize eating utensils, dishes, glassware, cookware, wood cutting boards, or any porous surface the wipe cannot reach — and they are not for personal cleansing.
Do any of these products come in travel size?
Yes, the Alpet E3 Plus Hand Sanitizer Spray is available in a 4 oz single bottle. This size bottle is perfect for your pocket, purse or bag. A pack of 48 mini hand sanitizer spray bottles is also available.
Do floor treatments require any special equipment?
The recommended equipment for floor cleaners depends on the type of treatment. Most products require a buffer or special applicator machine. For the Dry Step treatment, we advise sweeping or vacuuming debris from the floor surfaces first. After, apply the floor cleaner with a mop or scrub brush.
Do I need to wear gloves when applying this product to surfaces?
This product does not require gloves to be worn when sanitizing high touch, hard surfaces. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to consider wearing gloves simply as a precaution.
Does Alpet D2 kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria including cold flu?
The label separates three different claims, and the contact time is what distinguishes them.
Sanitizing, non-food contact — 99.9% in 10 seconds. Applies to both the spray (EPA Reg. No. 73232-1) and the wipes (EPA Reg. No. 73232-2).
Sanitizing, food contact — 99.999% in 60 seconds. The spray names nine bacteria; the wipes name Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and Listeria monocytogenes.
Disinfecting, including viruses — 5 minutes. This claim belongs to the spray only. Alpet D2 Surface Sanitizer is an effective virucidal disinfectant against Norovirus (Feline Calicivirus as surrogate), Influenza A H1N1, Hepatitis B, and HIV-1 on hard, non-porous surfaces when the surface stays wet for the full 5 minutes. The wipes carry no virucidal claim.
Common cold and strep are not organisms on either label.
