VSP 2018 Operations Manual

CIP (cleaned in place): Use of a detergent solution, water rinse, and sanitizing
solution by circulating or flowing mechanically through a piping system onto or
over EQUIPMENT surfaces that require cleaning (for example, the method
used—in part—to clean and sanitize a frozen dessert machine). CIP does not
include the cleaning of EQUIPMENT such as band saws, slicers, or mixers
subjected to in-place manual cleaning without the use of a CIP system.

Cleaning locker: A room or cabinet specifically designed or modified for storage
of cleaning EQUIPMENT such as mops, brooms, floor-scrubbing machines, and
cleaning chemicals.

Comminuted: Reduced in size by chopping, flaking, grinding, or mincing.
Examples include FISH or MEAT products reduced in size and restructured
or reformulated (e.g., gefilte FISH, gyros, ground beef, and sausage) and
mixtures of two or more types of MEAT that have been reduced in size and
combined (e.g., sausages made from two or more MEATS).

Confirmed disease outbreak: A FOODBORNE or WATERBORNE DISEASE
OUTBREAK in which laboratory analysis of appropriate specimens identifies a
causative agent and epidemiologic analysis implicates the FOOD or water as the
source of the illness.

Consumer: A person who takes possession of FOOD, is not functioning as an
operator of a FOOD establishment or FOOD-PROCESSING PLANT, and does
not offer the FOOD for resale.

Contamination: The presence of an infectious agent on a body surface, in
clothes, in bedding, on toys, on surgical instruments or dressings, or on other
inanimate articles or substances including FOOD and water.

Continuous pressure (CP) backflow prevention device: A device generally
consisting of two check valves and an intermediate atmospheric vent that has been
specifically designed to be used under conditions of continuous pressure (greater
than 12 hours out of a 24-hour period).

Coving: A concave surface, molding, or other design that eliminates the usual
angles of 90° or less at deck junctures (Figures 3, 4, and 5).
