A NYC halal cart holds cooked lamb over rice at 128°F for two hours. What is the correct corrective action?
a.Add fresh raw lamb to the pan
b.Move it to the refrigerator and reserve it cold later
c.Reheat the lamb to 165°F or discard it if it has been below 140°F too long
d.Lower the burner and keep serving it
Explanation
Food held below 140°F is in the danger zone, so the corrective action is to reheat it to 165°F within two hours or discard it if it has been in the zone too long. Adding raw meat or continuing to serve it spreads risk.
