During an inspection the inspector asks the person in charge to describe the relationship between the microbe and the food for a specific dish. What is this checking?
a.Whether the PIC memorized the menu prices
b.The PIC's demonstration of food safety knowledge
c.The PIC's total years of restaurant service
d.How quickly the PIC can plate an order
Explanation
The Food Code allows an inspector to assess the person in charge's demonstration of knowledge by asking about hazards and controls, such as which pathogen is a concern in a given food and how it is controlled. Correct answers, holding a valid manager certification, or compliance with the Code can satisfy this. Menu prices, length of service, and plating speed are not what the Code asks the PIC to demonstrate.
