Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) is cleared by the FDA for use on meat, Poultry, Fish and Seafood, Fruits and Vegetables, and Shell Eggs as a no-rinse Sanitizer. FCN 1811 is a Food Contact Notification (FCN) from the FDA for using electrolytically generated Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) as an antimicrobial agent in an aqueous solution in the production and preparation of whole or cut meat and poultry, processed and performed meat and poultry, fish and seafood products, fruits and vegetables, and shell eggs.

The antimicrobial activity of a chlorine-based disinfectant depends on the amount of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) present in the water. The amount of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) in the water depends upon the pH level of the water, the amount of organic material in the water, and the temperature of the water (to some extent). If the amount of Hyp
The antimicrobial activity of a chlorine-based disinfectant depends on the amount of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) present in the water. The amount of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) in the water depends upon the pH level of the water, the amount of organic material in the water, and the temperature of the water (to some extent). If the amount of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) is not maintained when the amount of organic material increases, the antimicrobial agent may lose effectiveness in maintaining water quality. (IV.)
The following chemical substances when used as ingredients in an antimicrobial pesticide formulation may be applied to food-contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing equipment and utensils. When ready for use, the end-use concentration of all hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) chemicals in the solutio
The following chemical substances when used as ingredients in an antimicrobial pesticide formulation may be applied to food-contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing equipment and utensils. When ready for use, the end-use concentration of all hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) chemicals in the solution is not to exceed 200 ppm determined as total available chlorine.

This Memorandum Clarifies that Electrolyzed Water (Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)) is a type of chlorine material that is allowed in organic production and handling. On June 9, 2014, the National Organic Program (NOP) published a policy memorandum (PM 14-3) on the status of electrolyzed water under the USDA organic regulations at 7 CFR Part 205. Following the release of PM 14-3, stakeholders provided additional technical and regulatory information on electrolyzed water to the NOP.
