HEALTH AND SANITATION GUIDELINES
JM Posner is committed to helping its customers provide the public with a healthy and
sanitary environment in which to enjoy the JM Posner Chocolate Fountain at their special
events. JM Posner encourages its customers to comply with the following recommended
Health and Sanitation Guidelines:
1. Sanitary Use of the Chocolate Fountain: A healthy and sanitary environment must
be ensured with each use of the chocolate fountain. A trained attendant must
accompany the chocolate fountain at every event. The attendant’s responsibility is
to operate the fountain and ensure that each guest at the event follows the proper
Health & Safety procedures below:
2. Everyone involved in the handling and preparation of food items should be Food
Handler Certified by the local health agency. The attendant must also be Food
Handler Certified.
3. The attendant should serve each guest by dipping the requested food item into the
flowing chocolate and then serving the item to the guest on a plate.
4. A separate skewer is to be used with each food item.
5. Food items should never be doubled dipped in the chocolate after coming into
contact with a guest’s hand or mouth.
6. Guests should never touch the chocolate with their hands, etc.
7. Guests should never introduce anything into the chocolate other than that which has
been provided by the caterer.
8. Leftover chocolate remaining in the fountain at the end of each event should be
disposed of and not reused.
9. Cleanliness: All JM Posner Chocolate Fountain components are made of high
quality, 304 food grade stainless steel. Any components that come into contact
with chocolate must be cleaned thoroughly after every use. The components are all
dishwasher safe (excluding the bowl and drum) and should first be washed with warm,
soapy water after each use, with care to avoid getting water on or inside the fountain
housing. It is also recommended that a sanitizing agent be used after the fountain
components have been washed.
