minorCode MCO 204.10Chemicals

Official wording

The city council finds that discarded packaging from foods and beverages constitutes a significant and growing portion of the waste in Minneapolis' waste stream. Regulation of food and beverage packaging, therefore, is a necessary part of any effort to encourage a recyclable and compostable waste stream, thereby reducing the disposal of solid waste and the economic and environmental costs of waste management for the citizens of Minneapolis and others working or doing business in Minneapolis. The council further finds that plastic packaging is rapidly replacing other packaging material, and that most plastic packaging used for foods and beverages is nondegradable, nonreturnable and nonrecyclable. The council also finds that the two (2) main processes used to dispose of discarded nondegradable, nonreturnable and nonrecyclable plastic foods and beverage packaging, are land filling and incineration, both of which should be minimized for environmental reasons. The council therefore finds that the minimization of nondegradable, nonreturnable and nonrecyclable food and beverage packaging originating at retail food establishments within the City of Minneapolis is necessary and desirable in order to reduce the city's waste stream, so as to reduce the volume of landfilled waste, to minimize toxic by-products of incineration, to make the waste stream less damaging to the environment, and to make our city and neighboring communities more environmentally sound places to live. (89-Or-060,§ 1, 3-31-89; 96-Or-059,§ 1, 6-28-96)

Inspector’s notes

The premade salad and sandwiches were in #6 plastic containers. #1,2 and 5 plastic containers are allowed under the green to go ordinance. Discontinue using #6 plastic containers.

In plain English

Cleaning products, pesticides, or other chemicals were stored or labeled in a way that could let them get into food. This is serious because chemical contamination can make people sick quickly.
