Chemical Storage

Chemicals are stored by the same logic as food: away from food, labeled, and never in a container that once held food.

Key points:

Store chemicals below and away from food, equipment, and utensils.
Keep chemicals in the original labeled container, and never reuse a food container.
Never store chemicals above a food prep or storage surface.
Follow the manufacturer dilution and contact-time instructions exactly.

Every one of these points maps back to a specific Food Code provision, which is why the exam can test it in more than one domain.
