Food-Contact Surface Disinfectant for Canadian Facilities
Solus’s Multi-Purpose Disinfectant is a made-in-Canada hypochlorous acid (HOCl) disinfectant for food-contact surfaces in Canadian food premises. It holds Health Canada biocide market authorization no. 02557371, which includes a Food Premises use area. It disinfects the hard, non-porous surface — not the food itself — and is near-neutral and low residue. Follow the current label, including the potable-water rinse recommended for food-contact surfaces.
Why Solus for your food-contact surfaces
- Authorized for Food Premises. Health Canada biocide market authorization no. 02557371 covers a Food Premises use area for disinfecting eligible hard, non-porous surfaces — not direct application to food.
- GLP-tested efficacy. Solus’s Multi-Purpose Disinfectant passed the AOAC Use Dilution Method against Salmonella enterica (ATCC 10708), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442) at a 10-minute contact time — GLP-tested by Analytical Lab Group (report A30442).
- Near-neutral and low residue. The current label concentration is 367 ppm free available chlorine; the near-neutral HOCl (pH 5.0–7.0, SDS §9) breaks down into salt and water, leaving low residue.
- Practical handling. No PPE is normally required for normal use; the SDS recommends eye protection where splashing is possible and gloves for prolonged or repeated contact or sensitive skin (SDS §8). The product is not regulated under WHMIS (SDS §15).
- Label-led rinse. For food-contact surfaces, the current label recommends a potable-water rinse after application on surfaces or objects that may directly contact infants or toddlers, animals, food, feed or drinking water. Build that step into your procedure. Daycare food-contact and child-contact surface routines should preserve the same label-led rinse step.

Who it’s for
Restaurants, commercial kitchens, food processing, grocery, and any Canadian facility that disinfects food-contact surfaces. Dairy processors can apply the same label-led logic to dairy-equipment disinfection. Solus fits existing protocols with no specialized equipment. Ships within Canada.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to rinse food-contact surfaces after using Solus?
Follow the current label. It recommends a potable-water rinse after application on surfaces or objects that may directly contact infants or toddlers, animals, food, feed or drinking water. Treat food-contact surfaces accordingly; do not treat the product as universally “no-rinse.”
Is the product for food itself?
No. Solus’s Multi-Purpose Disinfectant disinfects hard, non-porous surfaces that contact food — not the food itself. Follow the current label for authorized surfaces, method and contact time.
What is Solus authorized for?
It holds Health Canada biocide market authorization no. 02557371, which includes a Food Premises use area (alongside Hospital / Health Care Facilities, Domestic, and Institutional / Industrial). The current label defines each authorized surface, contact time and rinse requirement.
Which organisms has it been tested against?
Solus’s Multi-Purpose Disinfectant passed the AOAC Use Dilution Method against Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 10 minutes — GLP-tested by Analytical Lab Group (report A30442). See the lab reports on the documents page.
What concentration is it?
The current label concentration is 367 ppm free available chlorine. Use the current label and SDS when documenting concentration.
