US FDA Food Code 2026 3-305: 3-305 and 3-307 Preventing contamination from the premises and other sources

Food is stored in a clean, dry place, not exposed to splash, dust or other contamination, and at least 15 cm (6 inches) off the floor, except packaged food on case lot handling equipment and pressurized beverages, food in waterproof containers and milk crates on a clean dry floor. Food is not stored in locker rooms, toilet rooms (Pf), dressing, garbage or mechanical rooms, under unshielded sewer lines, under leaking or condensing pipes including water-based fire protection systems, under open stairwells or under other contamination sources. Vended TCS food stays in the package it was placed in where it was prepared. Unpackaged food is protected from environmental contamination during preparation, and from any other source of contamination not covered by 3-301 to 3-306.
