Should Kay Release Agent, used for the grill, be stored with or without food?

Storing Kay Release Agent without food is important for ensuring food safety and maintaining compliance with health regulations. Grilling agents or cooking oils can contain chemicals that, while safe for cooking, should not come into direct contact with food or food storage areas to prevent contamination. Additionally, it helps to prevent any potential flavor transfer or chemical reactions that might arise if food comes into contact with the agent.

Storing the release agent away from food also helps in clearly distinguishing between cooking supplies and food items, reducing the risk of accidental mixing. This practice aligns with proper food handling guidelines and helps maintain the integrity of the food being prepared. It also ensures that employees are following health standards, which is critical for maintaining a safe and hygienic food preparation environment.
