LAC 51:VI.1119. Multi-Use Container Washing and Handling [formerly paragraph 6:147]

A. Every plant manufacturing bottled beverages shall be equipped with suitable mechanical bottle washing apparatus and with approved machines for carbonation, filling and crowning so that these operations can be performed as to prevent any part of the operator or his clothing from coming in contact with those surfaces of the bottles which come in contact with the beverage. Bottle washing machines shall be so constructed and operated as to prevent back-siphonage, or return-flow, into the water supply lines.
