Food Allergy Safety

Category - Receiving and Storage

While receiving a shipment, Lauren realizes the meat products have come into contact with a cheese product. What should Lauren do?
  1. Hope cross-contact did not occur.
  2. Reject some or all of the products.
  3. Ask her coworkers what they think she should do.
  4. She doesn’t need to do anything.
Explanation
Answer: B - Lauren should reject some or all of the products exposed to cross-contact.

Cooking the meat to the recommended temperature will do nothing to reverse the effects of cross-contact. As the food will never be safe for guests with food allergies, the only course of action is to return it for acceptable product.
