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.A permit to sell alcohol
b.Nothing, because shellfish are sold live everywhere
c.Only a sign warning about raw consumption
d.A variance and an approved HACCP plan addressing the tank's water quality and shellfish safety
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.
