Item 15r

DRUG AND CHEMICAL CONTROL

Cleaners and Sanitizers Identification

Requirement: Cleaners and Sanitizers shall be stored in properly identified,
dedicated end use containers.
Animal drugs and drug administration equipment shall be stored in such a way
that milk, milking equipment, wash vats and hand sinks are not subject to
contamination.
Animal drugs shall be properly labeled and segregated (lactating from non-
lactating). Unapproved drugs shall not be used.

Public Health Reason: Accidental misuse of cleaners or sanitizers can result in
adulteration of the milk. Animal drugs can result in adverse reactions in people
sensitive to those residues and can contribute to the development of drug
resistant human pathogens.

If cleaners and/or sanitizers are purchased in bulk and transferred to a container
at the dairy farm, this container must meet the following requirements:

1. Be a specifically designed and maintained dedicated end-use container
for use of the specified chemical agent.

2. The end-use container must contain a label which shall include the
product name, chemical description, use directions, precautionary and
warning statement, first aid instructions, container storage and
maintenance instructions, and the name and address of the
manufacturer or distributor.

NOTE: Information regarding Veterinary Drugs, Extra-label use and Drug storage
requirements are addressed in Chapter 6.
