Management & HACCPQuestion 270 of 320
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.The PIC's demonstration of food safety knowledge
b.The PIC's personal cooking speed
c.Whether the PIC memorized the menu prices
d.The PIC's years of employment
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. It is about food safety competence, not speed or tenure.
