Chemical contamination can cause burns to mouth/throat. Foreign objects cause choking, broken teeth, and lacerations. Protect food from ALL contamination sources. Store chemicals below and away from food. Use food-grade containers only. Inspect food upon receipt and before preparation. Maintain clean equipment and work surfaces. Cover food during storage. Separate raw from ready-to-eat. Remove contaminated food immediately — do not serve.
