NAC446.885. Containers for storage of food.

     1. Nonpressurized containers used for the storage of food sold through vending machines, including water, must be provided with covers which prevent contamination from reaching the interior of the containers. The covers must have a flange which overlaps the opening and must be sloped to provide drainage from the cover wherever the collection of condensation, moisture or splash is possible. Any opening through the cover must be flanged upward at least three-sixteenths of an inch (5 millimeters) and provided with an overlapping cover flanged downward.

     2. Aprons which deflect condensation, drips and dust must be provided on all piping, thermometers, equipment, rotary shafts and other functional parts extending into the container unless a watertight joint is provided.
