PMT 109 Food Service Sanitation Practice Test

Outside storage areas must not be located within how many feet of the food establishment? (alternate wording)

Not within 50 feet Not within 100 feet Not within 150 feet Not within 200 feet

Correct Answer:

Not within 100 feet

Explanation:

Keeping outside storage areas at a safe distance from the food preparation and serving areas helps prevent contamination and pest issues. A buffer of 100 feet provides enough separation so that trash, leaks, odors, and items stored outside are unlikely to affect the interior where food is handled, and it reduces the chances of pests finding easy access from the outside. If storage were much closer, the risk of contamination and pest intrusion increases; staying well beyond 100 feet isn’t typically required by standard sanitation guidance and can unnecessarily complicate operations.
