Ellsbury’s Eatery cooks large batches of a stew made with pre-cooked beef, carrots, onions and potatoes. Which ingredient should be used to determine the discard date of the stew?
  1. The potatoes
  2. The carrots
  3. The pre-cooked beef
  4. The onions
Explanation
Answer: C - Ellsbury’s Eatery should use the discard date of the pre-cooked beef as the discard date of their stew. All TCS ready-to-eat foods that are made in the restaurant and held for more than 24 hours should be labeled with a discard date. The discard date for the beef should be determined from the time it was originally cooked rather than the date the stew was cooked.
