On a buffet table, when is it acceptable to add fresh cooked foods to a container holding partially served foods?
  1. It is never acceptable to mix fresh food with partially served food
  2. Only if the food in the existing container has been on the table a short time
  3. Only if the container is completely empty of food
  4. Fresh food should be added as soon as it is cooked
Explanation
Answer: A - It is never acceptable to add freshly cooked foods to a container holding partially served foods on a buffet table. When adding food to a buffet table, the existing container should be removed and replaced with a clean container holding the fresh food. This is required because any bacterial growth that may have started in the older food or on the container will contaminate the fresher food.
