§ 59.205. Separate rooms.

 (a)  Pasteurizing, processing, cooling and packaging shall be conducted in a single room, but not in the same room used for the cleaning of milk cans, bottles, and cases or the unloading or cleaning and sanitizing of milk tank trucks; provided that, in a receiving station, cooling may be done in the room where milk tank trucks are unloaded or cleaned and sanitized.

 (b)  All bulk milk storage tanks shall be vented into a room used for pasteurization, processing, cooling or packaging operations or into a storage tank gallery room, provided that vents located elsewhere which are adequately equipped with air filters so as to preclude the contamination of the milk shall be considered satisfactory.
