Title
Cleaning of Food Contact Surfaces- Time as a Public Health Control
Issue you would like the Conference to consider

Code language is not clear if foods are required to be removed from contact surfaces within the 4 hours as stated in 4-602.11.
Public Health Significance
The code allows for TCS foods to be safely used with an approved Time as a Public Health Control plan under 3-501.19 (C) if foods begin at 41 F and do not exceed 70 F in the six hours. Therefore, the cleaning frequency should match the allowed time of six hours.

The Conference recommends....
That a letter be sent to the FDA requesting that 4-602.11 (D) (8) of the most current edition of the Food Code be added as follows:
4-602.11 (D) (8) In-use utensils being used for foods under an approved plan as specified in 3-501.19 (C) shall be cleaned every 6 hours.
