Which characteristics should multiuse food-contact surfaces and equipment have under the Food Code?

Giải thích

Multiuse food-contact surfaces must be smooth, durable, nonabsorbent, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean, so they can actually be cleaned and sanitized and do not harbor pathogens. A rough texture gives soil and bacteria somewhere to lodge where a cloth cannot reach, untreated raw wood absorbs moisture and cannot be sanitized reliably, and an absorbent surface holds the spill inside the material. Choosing the right construction material is a foundational facility-design decision.
