minorCode MN Rule 4626.0300ACleaning and sanitizing

Official wording

Store all food: • In a clean, dry location • At least 6 inches above the floor

Inspector’s notes

Shelving in walk-in coolers is less than 6 inches above floor. Adjust so it is at least 6 inches above floor. Shelving in store holding liquor that has a toe kick installed at the base. Remove the toe kick. Toe kick and low shelving prevents cleaning and provides harborage for pests.

In plain English

Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
