General Comments-EHS advises staff that knives on tethers must be washed, rinsed, and sanitized at the same interval as other food contact surfaces. Additionally, staff should view the tether as part of the food contact surfaces, and replace it as necessary, when it is no longer able to be cleaned to sight and touch.
