What items should never be stored with pesticides?

Food and feed should never be stored with pesticides because doing so poses a significant risk of contamination and potential poisoning. Pesticides are toxic substances designed to kill or control pests, and if they come into contact with food or feed, they can lead to harmful ingestion by humans or animals. The storage of these items together increases the chance of accidental spills or leaks, which can contaminate the food supply and create serious health hazards. It's critical to maintain a clear separation between pesticides and any consumables to ensure safety and comply with regulatory guidelines for pesticide storage.

In contrast, while cleaning supplies, office materials, and personal protective equipment (PPE) are important to manage properly, they do not inherently carry the same risk of direct contamination or ingestion that food and feed do. Therefore, maintaining proper storage protocols specifically prohibits mixing pesticides with food and feed to ensure safety and health compliance.
