This section does not apply to packaged poisonous or toxic materials that are for retail sale. The presence in the establishment of poisonous or toxic materials that are not required for the maintenance and operation of the establishment represents an unnecessary risk to both employees and consumers. Preserving food safety depends in part on the appropriate and proper storage and use of poisonous or toxic materials that are necessary to the maintenance and operation of a food establishment. Even those that are necessary can pose a hazard if they are used in a manner that contradicts the intended use of the material as described by the manufacturer on the material's label. If additional poisonous or toxic materials are present, there is an unwarranted increased potential for contamination due to improper storage (e.g., overhead spillage that could result in the contamination of food, food-contact surfaces, or food equipment) or inappropriate application.
  • Critical: Food Manager Certificate and Responsibility
    Observation: The food establishment is not under the immediate control of a certified food manager.
    Correction: It shall be unlawful to operate a food establishment unless it is under the immediate control of a certified food manager
