If an allergen food protein is present on a piece of equipment, what happens to all the foods that touch that equipment?
  1. There is no chance of cross-contact.
  2. Cross-contact will occur with all of the food.
  3. The food will have extra protein.
  4. The food will be very flavorful.
Explanation
Answer: B - When an allergen food protein is on a piece of equipment, cross-contact will occur with all of the food that touches that equipment.

Amounts of food small enough to be invisible are enough to trigger an allergic reaction. Any time equipment is used to prepare an allergen special order, it must be cleaned to remove lingering food proteins.
