• MINOR 23-4-602.13

Non-Food Contact Surfaces Clean

Clean the tops of the bulk storage containers within the walk-in to remove the food soil. The containers were not heavily soiled. However food debris should be promptly wiped and cleaned from the exterior. The drying rack in the walk-in should be cleaned to remove the rust build-up that is accumulating on the shelving beneath the ducks. The ducks have no contact with the shelving. Metal sheet pans prevent direct contact. However the curing agents (vinegar and salt) are likely contributing to the rust build-up.

Why This Matters

INDIRECT CONTAMINATION: Dirty surfaces attract pests, harbor bacteria, and contaminate via contact or air movement. Dust from dirty shelves contains allergens affecting 32 million Americans. Grease accumulation creates slip hazards causing 25% of restaurant injuries.

Code Requirements

Non-food contact surfaces must be cleaned at frequency to prevent: Soil accumulation; Pest attraction; Contamination of food/food contact surfaces. Includes: Equipment exteriors; Shelving; Walls and ceilings; Light fixtures; Ventilation systems.

Corrective Actions

Deep clean all non-food contact surfaces; Create cleaning schedule with daily, weekly, monthly tasks; Assign cleaning zones to staff; Use degreaser for grease accumulation; Clean from top to bottom; Maintain cleaning log
