While Ed is receiving his restaurant’s frozen food shipment this week, he notices ice crystals and water stains on some of the packages. What should he do?
  1. Use the food in the damaged packages first.
  2. Immediately place the damaged packages in the freezer.
  3. Dispose of the damaged packages after the delivery person leaves.
  4. Reject the damaged packages and note damage on the invoice.
Explanation
Answer: D - If Ed noticed ice crystals and water stains on packages in his restaurant’s frozen food shipment, he should have rejected the packages and noted the damage on the invoice. The ice crystals and water damage indicate that the food items in those packages may have thawed and refrozen before arriving at the restaurant. Ed should keep the packages he is rejecting separate from those he is accepting and explain to the delivery person why he is rejecting those items. He should note the damage on the invoice in order to receive credit for the rejected items.
