Exterior doors of a food facility are required to be:
a.Propped open during business hours for ventilation
b.Locked open with a wedge to speed up deliveries
c.Self-closing and tight-fitting, kept closed except for entry, exit, or active delivery
d.Removed entirely during summer months
Explanation
Exterior doors must be tight-fitting and self-closing so they stay shut except during entry, exit, or active deliveries. A door that is propped open or wedged invites flies, rodents, and birds. Self-closing devices, door sweeps, and screens together form the exclusion barrier.
