§ 2462 Kitchen Grease Recordkeeping Requirements

This law says that businesses dealing with used kitchen grease (like from restaurants) must keep records of where it came from, how much they got, and when. This helps track grease that isn't used for food anymore.

Key Takeaways

  • •Businesses that collect or process used kitchen grease must keep records for two years.
  • •They need to write down who gave them the grease, how much they got, and the date.
  • •This rule helps make sure used grease is handled safely and legally.

Example

A restaurant sells its used cooking oil to a company that turns it into biofuel.

The company must write down the restaurant's name, how much oil they bought, and the date they picked it up. They have to keep these records for two years.
