A guest tells the server she has a severe peanut allergy. The kitchen has already cooked her stir-fry in a wok used minutes earlier for a peanut sauce dish. What is the correct action?
a.Cover the dish with extra sauce so the guest cannot taste any peanut traces
b.Discard the stir-fry, clean and sanitize the wok and utensils, wash hands, change gloves, and remake the dish with fresh ingredients
c.Pick visible peanut pieces out of the dish and serve it

Cross-contact happens when even tiny amounts of an allergen transfer to an allergen-free order. Trace amounts can cause severe reactions, so the dish must be remade with cleaned, sanitized equipment, clean hands, and new gloves.
