The Supplement to the 2022 Food Code added a requirement about how a sanitizer test kit is used. What does it say?
a.The kit is always replaced every 90 days no matter how many strips remain
b.The kit is stored in the manager's office between uses
c.The kit is read by two employees who both initial the log
d.The kit is used in accordance with the manufacturer's label instructions
Explanation
The Supplement added that when a test kit is used to determine the concentration of a sanitizing solution, it must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's label instructions, because dipping a strip too long or reading it too late gives a number that is not real. The base requirement to provide a test kit or device has always been there.
