SQF Compliance with Compressed Air

So why are people getting sick?

One contributing factor is the compressed air.  Although the food industry has been installing oil-free air compressors and meeting ISO Classification 8573.1 for compressed air, this is no longer good enough.  Companies like Walmart are requiring their supplies to now meet the SQF Code. For compressed air this is section 11.5.7.  See Table:
