Can a tub be used for the third compartment of a warewashing sink if the firm is using single service tableware?
ยง229.165(g)(2)(C)(vi) The regulatory authority may approve the use of alternative warewashing equipment when there are special cleaning needs or constraints. Approval is not contingent upon using single service tableware. Important considerations include the volume of utensils to be washed, size of the equipment/utensils to be washed, physical limitations to setting up a receptacle, changes in type or scope of operation, and the firm’s history of compliance with washing and sanitizing procedures. The regulatory authority may require written documentation as part of the approval process.
