Master plumber question

Trying to help my kid's daycare get organized on a possible addition to the current facility.
In La, the day care rules say they need a hand washing station (i.e a sink) in the room they're considering renovating. If no food is to be prepped at this fixture, would it need to pass through a grease trap?

i am not a master plumber but heres my advice from working with many of them
anything like a school that has kids you better strictly follow the code requirements, they tell you whats needed.
offhand i can tell you soap and grease are very much alike in what happens to it after going down a drain. for that reason, i might put a grease trap whether its required or not, to trap the soap residue that acts much like grease and collects it drain pipes

If the sink is in a kitchen or even in a room where food is prepared, it will need to drain into a grease trap. It can’t connect to the sanitary sewer directly.

Is that normal code for a school? I have no idea, just an odd question unless someone told you that school sinks need a grease trap?
