Section 446.880 - Potentially hazardous food
Current through February 27, 2024
1. Potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) offered for sale through vending machines must be dispensed to the consumer in the individual, original container or package into which it was placed at:
2. Vending machines which dispense potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) must be provided with adequate refrigerating or heating units and thermostatic controls which ensure the maintenance of refrigerated foods at a temperature of 41°F (5°C) or below and hot foods at a temperature of 135°F (71°C) or above. Such a machine must have automatic controls which, in the event of a power failure, mechanical failure or other condition resulting in unsafe temperatures, prevent it from dispensing potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) until it has been serviced by the operator.
3. Potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) which fails to conform to the requirements of this section must be removed from the vending machine, rendered unusable for human consumption and properly discarded.
