Abstract
The establishment of a robust sanitation verification program is at the core of any food safety initiative. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) sanitation verification systems have become the de facto standard used for measuring the effectiveness of cleaning efforts in the brewing industry. By understanding the limitations and interferences of ATP technology, as well as through the implementation of a properly designed ATP monitoring system, brewing sanitation managers can ensure the highest level of quality and safety.

Keywords: ATP testing, ATP sanitation verification
