Management & HACCPQuestion 246 of 320
A health inspector arrives unannounced during lunch and asks to enter the kitchen and review records. What should the manager do?
a.Ask the inspector to come back after the lunch rush
b.Deny entry until the owner arrives
c.Allow entry only to the dining room, not the kitchen
d.Grant access to the premises and records as required by the Food Code
Explanation
The Food Code requires operators to allow the regulatory authority access to the establishment and to any records the authority is entitled to inspect during normal operating hours. Refusing or delaying entry can itself be a violation. The manager should cooperate, accompany the inspector, and answer questions truthfully.
