More Information
Food contact surfaces refer to any surfaces that directly contact food or where food is likely to contact, such as cutting boards, utensils, and countertops. Faucet handles do not typically come into direct contact with food, thus they are not considered a food contact surface.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming that parts of kitchen equipment that come into indirect contact with food (like faucet handles or knobs) are considered food contact surfaces.
