Residents Affected - Many
Policy
All local, state, and federal standards and regulations are followed to ensure a safe and sanitary Nutrition
Services Department.
Review of the FDA Food Code 2017, Chapter 4-602.11 Equipment Food-Contact Surfaces and Utensils,
revealed how utensils shall be cleaned and sanitized:
(E) Except when dry cleaning methods are used as specified under [section] 4-603.11, surfaces of
UTENSILS and EQUIPMENT contacting FOOD that is not TIME/TEMPERATURE CONTROL FOR
SAFETY FOOD shall be cleaned:
(1) At any time when contamination may have occurred;
(2) At least every 24 hours for iced tea dispensers and CONSUMER self-service UTENSILS such as tongs,
scoops, or ladles; .
(4) In EQUIPMENT such as ice bins and BEVERAGE dispensing nozzles and enclosed components of
EQUIPMENT such as ice makers, cooking oil storage tanks and distribution lines, BEVERAGE and syrup
dispensing lines or tubes, coffee bean grinders, and water vending EQUIPMENT:
(a) At a frequency specified by the manufacturer, or
(b) Absent manufacturer specifications, at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil or mold.
Review of the FDA Food Code 2017, Chapter 6-403.11 Designated Areas, revealed how personal drinks
and items shall be stored:
(A) Areas designated for EMPLOYEES to eat, drink, and use tobacco shall be located so that FOOD,
EQUIPMENT, LINENS, and SINGLE SERVICE and SINGLE-USE ARTICLES are protected from
contamination.
(B) Lockers or other suitable facilities shall be located in a designated room or area where contamination of
FOOD, EQUIPMENT, UTENSILS, LINENS, and SINGLE-SERVICE and SINGLE-USE ARTICLES can not
occur.
6-403.11 Designated Areas. Because employees could introduce pathogens to food by
hand-to-mouth-to-food contact and because street clothing and personal belongings carry contaminants,
areas designated to accommodate employees' personal needs must be carefully located. Food, food
equipment and utensils, clean linens, and single-service and single-use articles must not be in jeopardy of
contamination from these areas.
