Statement of purpose

The purpose of these regulations is to provide definitive sanitary standards for food establishments. Section 21a-101 (a) (4) of the Connecticut General Statutes provides that a food will be deemed to be adulterated if it has been produced, prepared, packed or held under unsanitary conditions whereby it may become contaminated with filth or whereby it may have been rendered diseased, unwholesome or injurious to health. A substantial failure to comply with these regulations will constitute such unsanitary conditions.
