A substituted product from a supplier lists “Contains: Milk and Wheat” on the label, while the original product did not. Why is this a problem?
  1. It is not a problem.
  2. Because the new product contains allergens.
  3. Because the new product does not contain allergens.
  4. Because the new product may not taste the same.
Explanation
Answer: B - This is a problem because the new product contains allergens.

Checking food labels when receiving new product is important so that new allergens are not brought into your operation. If the ingredients in the substitute product change, chefs and cooks could prepare an allergen special order without realizing the offending allergen is in the dish.
