A crew is loading a new dry storage room. Which practice meets the Food Code?
a.Store cases at least 6 inches above the floor on shelving
b.Store cases directly on clean pallets laid flat on the floor
c.Store cases at least 2 inches above the floor on risers
d.Store cases against the wall to leave the aisle clear
Explanation
Food must be stored in a clean, dry location, where it is not exposed to splash or dust, and at least 6 inches above the floor. Cases stored lower cannot be cleaned under and give pests a harborage, and stock pushed tight against a wall hides the droppings and gnaw marks that reveal an infestation.
