Contamination & AllergensQuestion 349 of 500
A deli sells unpackaged salads made in house. How must it tell guests that a salad contains a major food allergen?
a.By a verbal answer from whichever staff a guest asks
b.By written notification of the allergen ingredient
c.By a poster naming the nine allergens at the front door
d.By a note on the receipt printed after the sale
Explanation
The permit holder must notify consumers by written notification of the presence of major food allergens as an ingredient in unpackaged food items sold or served. A verbal answer depends on whoever is working, a general poster does not say which item contains what, and a receipt arrives after the guest has already bought the food.
