Are establishments required to clean the facility at mid-shift or between shifts?
A3: No. There is no prescriptive regulatory requirement for establishments to clean their facilities at mid-shift or between shifts. However, if the establishment has mid-shift or between shift clean-up identified as a Sanitation SOP procedure the establishment must follow their written procedures. Inspection program personnel will verify the establishment is meeting the sanitation requirements in 9 CFR Part 416.
