Sarah is preparing food from a reduced oxygen package and discovers that the seal is no longer as strong as it was when the item arrived in the restaurant. She prepares the dish with the food anyway. Was this the right or wrong thing to do and why?
  1. Yes, so long as the ingredients are not adulterated and were properly stored.
  2. Yes, only if the food is only used for one meal service and then thrown out.
  3. Yes, because the heating and cooking process will kill any bacteria on the food.
  4. No, because the food was not properly stored
Explanation
Answer: D - When preparing food, Sarah should discard any item in a reduced oxygen package that is no longer sealed completely. In such packaging, if the seal is no longer as strong as when the item arrived at the restaurant then there is some kind of leak in the packaging which makes it less stable and more likely to spoil before the use by date on the packaging.
