Contamination & AllergensQuestion 361 of 500
A sushi bar stores raw tuna that will be served raw on the same walk-in shelf as raw chicken. What does the Food Code say about this?
a.It is allowed as long as both items always sit in tightly covered pans
b.It is allowed if the tuna is on the left side
c.Raw animal food must be separated from raw ready-to-eat food
d.It is allowed if the chicken is used before the tuna
Explanation
Raw animal foods must be separated during storage, preparation, holding, and display from raw ready-to-eat food, and fish intended for raw service such as sushi tuna is exactly that. Covering the pans, arranging them side by side, or using one first does not satisfy a rule that calls for separation.
