How should cleaning chemicals be stored in a food establishment?

Next to food supplies
On the kitchen counter
Away from food and food preparation areas
In the same cabinet as utensils

The correct answer is: Away from food and food preparation areas

Cleaning chemicals should be stored away from food and food preparation areas to ensure safety and prevent contamination. Chemicals can contain harmful substances that, if accidentally mixed with food or come into contact with food utensils, can lead to foodborne illnesses and pose health risks to consumers. Proper storage not only protects food safety but also complies with health regulations that dictate safe practices in food establishments. Keeping these chemicals in a designated area that is well-labeled and separate from food items promotes a safe working environment and helps to maintain the integrity of food products.
