Food Transport Vehicles - Are food transport vehicles suitable?

Guidance		Standard 3.2.3 cl 17 of the Code requires that vehicles used to transport food be designed and constructed to protect food from any likelihood of contamination. Parts of vehicles used to transport food must be designed and constructed so they can be effectively cleaned. Food contact surfaces in parts of vehicles used to transport food must be designed and constructed to be effectively cleaned and, if necessary, sanitised.
Non-compliance	Minor	The food is not secure during transport. E.g. trays of ready to eat food move and slide around during transport that may contaminate food.
	Major	The inside the food transport vehicle is found to be unclean, and due to the design the transport area is unable to be easily and effectively cleaned and, if necessary, sanitised. E.g. carpeted tray/interior of the food transport vehicle. No form of refrigeration is provided where potentially hazardous food is transported for periods over 2 hours.
	Critical	The inside of the food transport vehicle is prone to contaminating food transported. E.g. exhaust fumes leak into cabin or food storage area.
