Once cross-contact has occurred during shipping, nothing can get the allergens off. The best course of action with products that have been exposed to cross-contact is:
  1. To fully cook those items.
  2. To keep those items refrigerated.
  3. To reject some or all of the products.
  4. There is nothing you can do.
Explanation
Answer: C - Once cross-contact has occurred during shipping, it is best to reject some or all of the products.

Foods that have experienced cross-contact can never be prepared or cooked to a point where they are safe for guests with food allergies. There are many specialty suppliers who cater to allergen-specific foods and would be able to deliver products that have not been compromised. If this is not an option at your operation, checking shipping containers and looking for spills is very important.
