    (a) Equipment and utensils used for processing or otherwise handling 

edible product or ingredients must be of such material and construction 

to facilitate thorough cleaning and to ensure that their use will not 

cause the adulteration of product during processing, handling, or 

storage. Equipment and utensils must be maintained in sanitary condition 

so as not to adulterate product.

    (b) Equipment and utensils must not be constructed, located, or 

operated in a manner that prevents FSIS inspection program employees 

from inspecting the equipment or utensils to determine whether they are 

in sanitary condition.

    (c) Receptacles used for storing inedible material must be of such 

material and construction that their use will not result in the 

adulteration of any edible product or in the creation of insanitary 

conditions. Such receptacles must not be used for storing any edible 

product and must bear conspicuous and distinctive marking to identify 

permitted uses.
