Texas Food Safety Managers Practice Test

Question: 1 / 400

Where should a food handler clean a garbage container?

A dishwashing area

Three-compartment sink

Service sink

Cleaning a garbage container should be done in a service sink. The service sink is specifically designed for the disposal of wastewater and for cleaning purposes where other sinks, such as those used for food preparation or dishwashing, are not suitable. This area minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and helps to maintain hygiene standards within the food establishment.

Using a dishwashing area or a three-compartment sink for cleaning garbage containers can lead to contamination of clean dishes and food preparation surfaces, as these sinks are designated for food-related processes. Cleaning outside in a parking lot does not offer the necessary sanitary conditions to ensure proper cleaning and disposal, which could attract pests or create unsanitary conditions. Thus, the service sink is the most appropriate location that adheres to food safety regulations and promotes overall cleanliness.
