Food Safety

Answer: B - When designing a new restaurant, the freezer and coolers should be located nearest the receiving area. When new food shipments are received, having freezers and coolers conveniently located reduces the amount of time food spends out of refrigeration. Ideally, the food prep area should be located near the coolers and freezers. A well-designed layout takes into account how food will move through the facility and reduces the time food spends in the temperature danger zone.
