Abstract
Absence of regular cleaning has been found to result in heavy bacterial loads on the surfaces of utensils and other equipments used in prawn processing factories and peeling centres. Instance of high faecal contamination are also sometimes met with. Detailed investigations have shown that a cleaning schedule comprising of treatment of these surface with a detergent followed by application of an effective disinfectant like sodium hypochlorite would prevent such bacterial build up.
