According to standard 3.2.3, floors must be designed and constructed with considerations for food safety. Here are some key flooring requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Effective Cleaning:<\/strong> Floors must be capable of being effectively cleaned to remove food waste, dirt, grease, and other visible matter. Smooth, crack-free surfaces are essential, resistant to hot water, steam, and chemicals used for cleaning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coving:<\/strong> While not a specific requirement, coving at the floor-wall junction is recommended in areas where flushing with water is common. It aids in cleaning and prevents the accumulation of dirt in hard-to-reach corners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage Areas:<\/strong> Flooring in storage areas should be smooth and free of cracks, though not as stringent as food preparation areas.
