How often should a food contact area be cleaned and sanitized that are in constant use?

Food contact areas that are in constant use should be cleaned and sanitized at least every four hours, or more frequently if they become visibly contaminated. It is essential to clean surfaces before switching between different food types to prevent cross-contamination. Additionally, any spills or food debris should be addressed immediately to maintain a safe food preparation environment. Regular cleaning schedules should be established based on the specific use and type of food being prepared.
