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.

PREMISES, PERSONAL/CLEANING ITEMS, VERMIN-PROOFING

Examples violating good retail practices include an open window that is not covered by a screen or employee medication improperly stored in a food preparation area.
