GOOD RETAIL PRACTICES

Good Retail Practices (GRPs) are preventive measures that include practices and procedures that effectively control the introduction of pathogens, chemicals and physical objects into food. If GRPs are not implemented, they could contribute to foodborne illness.

PLUMBING – PROPER BACKFLOW DEVICES

Examples violating good retail practices include a leaking faucet or a damaged or missing backflow prevention device when required.
