effective date of this part, CIP equipment shall meet the
characteristics of a food contact surface and shall be designed and
constructed so that cleaning and sanitizing solutions circulate
throughout a fixed system and contact all interior food-contact
surfaces and the system is self-draining or capable of being
completely drained of cleaning and sanitizing solutions.
   (b) CIP equipment that is not designed to be disassembled for
cleaning shall be designed with inspection access points to ensure
that all interior food-contact surfaces throughout the fixed system
are being effectively cleaned.



114130.6.  Materials that are used in fabric implements shall not
allow the migration of deleterious substances or impart colors,
odors, or tastes to food and under normal use conditions shall be
safe, durable, and sufficient in strength to withstand repeated
cleaning or laundering and shall be resistant to fraying and
deterioration.



114132.  (a) Except as specified in this section, wood and wood
wicker shall not be used as a food-contact surface.
   (b) Hard maple or an equivalently hard, close-grained wood may be
used for cutting boards, cutting blocks, bakers' tables, utensils

wooden paddles used in confectionery operations for pressure scraping
kettles when manually preparing confections at a temperature of 230
F or above, and cedar planks used for grilling or baking seafood.
   (c) Whole, uncut, raw fruits and vegetables and nuts in the shell
may be kept in wood shipping containers until the fruits, vegetables,
or nuts are used.
   (d) When wood or wood shipping containers become cracked,
splintered, or otherwise damaged, they shall be refurbished or
replaced.



114133.  (a) Except as specified in subdivision (b), copper and
copper alloys such as brass may not be used in contact with a food
that has a pH below six, such as vinegar, fruit juice, or wine, or
for a fitting or tubing installed between a backflow prevention
device and a carbonator.
   (b) Copper and copper alloys may be used in contact with beer
brewing ingredients that have a pH below six in the prefermentation
and fermentation steps of a beer brewing operation, such as a brewpub
or microbrewery.



114135.  Sponges shall not be used in contact with cleaned and
sanitized or in-use food-contact surfaces.
