Section 271-8.2 - Display equipment

Food on display shall be protected from consumer contamination by the use of packaging or by the use of easily cleanable counter, serving line or salad bar protector devices, display cases or by other effective means. Enough hot or cold food facilities shall be available to maintain the required temperature of potentially hazardous food on display.

(a) Food shields or sneeze quards must be of the canopy type and must completely cover the display/dispensing unit from above. Such shields shall be mounted so as to intercept a direct line between the customer's mouth and the food display area at the customer use position. Self-service soup displays shall be exempt from this requirement, provided the soup is displayed in a lidded container.

(b) Width of the salad bar unit should be restricted to limit reaching over food product. Food containers shall be no more than three deep from any serving access side.

(c) Display units containing potentially hazardous foods requiring refrigeration must be maintained so that all parts of such food are at a temperature of 41°F (5°C) or less. In the case of existing refrigeration equipment that is not capable of maintaining the food at 41°F (5°C) or less, potentially hazardous food shall be kept at a temperature between 45°F (7°C) and 41°F (5°C) in accordance with section 271-2.7 of this Part.
