A restaurant packages meals for off-site delivery to customers who will eat them later. What information should be provided with the food?
a.A discount coupon for the customer's next delivery order, plus the full terms of the loyalty program
b.The names of every employee who handled the food and the shift that each of them worked that evening
c.The wholesale purchase cost of each ingredient and the distributor's invoice number
d.Labels or instructions covering safe handling, such as reheating directions and use-by guidance
Explanation
When food will be stored or reheated by someone outside the operation's control, labeling with handling instructions helps the customer keep it safe, including how to reheat it and when to eat or discard it. This extends the operation's food safety management beyond its own walls. Coupons, employee rosters, and ingredient costs are business records; none of them tells the customer how to handle the food safely.
