It is Johnny's day as lead line chef. While doing his morning checks, he receives a phone call from his restaurant's meat supplier. They inform him that his most recent shipment of pork has been recalled due to contamination. What is his next step?
  1. Remove pork from the menu for the day and send it all back to the provider
  2. Call his boss and ask what she would do.
  3. Confirm that he has received the contaminated pork by matching the lot number from the recall notice to his inventory.
  4. Separate the meat from his other product, and sell it to all his friends at a discounted rate.
Explanation
Answer: C - Johnny's next step after being informed of a recall should be to confirm that he has received the contaminated pork by matching the lot number from the recall notice to his inventory. As all recalls list the lot numbers affected by the notice, it should be easy to match the numbers from the list to any contaminated product you may have, or have received, as the lot numbers are also listed on your invoice from the supplier. It is important to match your inventory lot numbers to the recall notice as it is sometimes possible that portions of the recalled product may have already been distributed or served.
