Food items can be stored with?

Storing food items with clean linens is appropriate because clean linens are free of contaminants and are used in a way that upholds food safety standards. This practice minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and ensures that the environment remains hygienic for food preparation and service. Clean linens, when properly stored, do not introduce harmful substances or allergens into the food storage area, making them a suitable option.

The other choices contain elements that could pose a risk to food safety. Cleaning chemicals can introduce harmful residues that might contaminate food. Employee’s personal items might carry bacteria or allergens that could get transferred to food. Cleaning utensils could also harbor contaminants if not properly sanitized, making them unsuitable for storage with food items.
