Equipment and Cleaning Standards
- Countertop equipment should have a clearance of at least 4 inches for easy cleaning.
- Smooth, durable surfaces with slope for drainage are required for dumpster placement.
Safe Temperature Practices
- TCS foods, like chopped lettuce, are acceptable to receive at 45°F (7°C), while raw meats require lower temperatures.
