A guest orders a bowl of yesterday's soup, which was properly cooked and cooled. The cook reheats a single portion and serves it right away. Which statement is accurate?
a.The portion must still reach 165°F even for immediate service
b.Food reheated for immediate service to a customer order may be served at any temperature, as long as it was previously cooked and cooled properly
c.Single portions can never be reheated; only full batches may be reheated
d.The portion only needs to reach 135°F because it will not be hot-held
Explanation
The Food Code allows properly cooked and cooled food that is reheated for immediate service in response to an individual order to be served at any temperature. The 165°F within 2 hours rule applies when reheated food will go into hot holding.
