HACCPQuestion 180 of 240

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.Reheat the lamb to 165°F or discard it if it has been below 140°F too long
c.Move it to the refrigerator and reserve it cold later
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.
