Most Efficient way to Sanitize 100ml glass bottles?
Hi I am wondering the most efficient way to sanitize 100ml glass in bulk?
We are starting a sexual wellness product line-up including water based & oil based personal lubricants. We get our bottles screen printed across seas, so looking for safest, most time efficient method to do this?
Thanks!

Does your product contain viable preservatives?

Another question would be. “Did you register your personal lubricant under the 501(K) program?” The FDA classifies personal lubricants as Medical devices and requires this registration.

@Graillotion yes they contain viable preservatives.
@Microformulation We are based in Canada and not selling to the US to start because of the hefty fees associated with 501k. We are registered with Health Canada.

Depends on your facility, your capital, your definition of ‘sanitize’, how clean the bottles are…If they have dirt in them, use a dishwasher with a bottle-adapter, also comes industrial sized.If they have a problem with microbes: ethylene oxide and gamma-radiation come to mind. -
Packaging and articles from the far east (esp. China) are often of lesser quality - esp micro- than those obtained from NA. Quality is expensive, and elimination of effort in the regard facilitates the cheaper price you enjoy.
You should assess the micro quality of what you’re getting now.
“Sanitizing in 100 ml glass bulk” will be a challenge - gamma can discolor glass and you’ll need to ensure aeration step effectively eliminates remnant ETO.
You might also cost out packaging already “sanitized” or of a specified micro quality - shifting the burden to your supplier. Might be cheaper than treatment bulk containers yourself - if that’s necessary.
