WAC 16-252-150   Reusing bags, totes, and containers.  Bags, totes, or nonporous containers of similar capacity used for pet food or specialty pet food must not be reused unless appropriately cleaned. A firm that intends to reuse bags, totes, or containers must document their clean-out procedures.

Note:	"Appropriate cleaning procedures" are procedures that prevent cross contamination of products that would create a safety concern. Examples of safety concerns include:
	(1) Medicated products contaminating nonmedicated products;
	(2) Prohibited mammalian protein contaminating ruminant feed; and
	(3) Feed containing minerals, or other additives, intended for one species contaminating feed intended for another species that is more sensitive to a mineral or other additive.
