Management & HACCPQuestion 280 of 320
A retail market wants to add a live molluscan shellfish display tank so customers can pick their own oysters. What does the Food Code require?
a.Nothing, because shellfish are sold live everywhere
b.Only a sign warning about raw consumption
c.A variance and an approved HACCP plan addressing the tank's water quality and shellfish safety
d.A permit to sell alcohol
Explanation
Operating a molluscan shellfish life-support display tank is a specialized process the Food Code lists as requiring a variance and a HACCP plan, because the tank water and holding conditions can affect the safety of filter-feeding shellfish. The plan must address water treatment, monitoring, and records. A warning sign alone does not satisfy this requirement.
