NON-FOOD CONTACT TOOLS

The NON-FOOD CONTACT TOOLS sign clearly designates tools and utensils NOT approved for direct contact with food products. Designed for food and beverage facilities operating under HACCP, SQF, BRCGS, and cGMP programs, this sign supports cross-contact prevention and proper utensil segregation.

Clear visual identification of non-food-contact utensils helps prevent contamination, reinforces sanitation controls, and supports documented food safety procedures.

Unlike printed or laminated signage, these signs will not rust, rot, or delaminate over time. Each sign is CNC-machined from Color Core HDPE, a solid, non-laminated material consisting of a contrasting core color sandwiched between two uniform surface layers. All text, symbols, and graphics are precision-carved, permanently exposing the core color — ensuring long-term legibility without peeling, fading, or adhesive failure. Color Core HDPE construction provides excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and routine washdowns.

This sign has a WHITE face with BLACK inner core color, compliant with ANSI Z535 standards for the “GENERAL” category.
