Pests & FacilitiesQuestion 155 of 240

Where should a chemical sanitizer bucket be kept during service to avoid contaminating food?

a.On the prep table next to the cutting boards
b.On a lower shelf or the floor, away from food and food-contact surfaces
c.Hanging above the salad station
d.Inside the reach-in cooler with the food

Explanation

A sanitizer bucket must be kept low and away from food, prep surfaces, and food-contact items so a splash or spill cannot contaminate food. Placing it on prep tables, above food, or inside coolers risks chemical contamination. Chemicals, including in-use sanitizer, are always stored below and separate from food.
