Hello All! Writing to you from a food packaging manufacturing company (plastic only, no organic matter). We are getting ready for SQF certification and may need to make some adjustments to our bathrooms to accommodate the code (they do not have the airlock/vestibule). The bathrooms are along our breakroom, and my production manager suggested making an outdoor lunch area instead, and having the bathrooms take over the existing breakroom. We are in LA so weather is typically favorable, but I had some concerns in terms of the occasional rain, and winter cold (my PM suggested placing outdoor heaters). Pest management and outdoor debris entering the facility are also a concern, but I already have sanitation mats in mind regardless of what we decide. I'm concerned an outdoor only break facility would be an issue for the auditor though, can anyone confirm and advise of any other non conformance's this might result in? We have a rarely used conference room that I believe could be converted to a breakroom as it is also next to the bathrooms. I feel this would be better option, in addition to the outdoor space (COVID), but if anyone can think of any other concerns to help my argument I would appreciate it.
