A raw bar empties a sack of oysters on Friday night. What must be written on the shellstock tag before it is filed?
a.The name of the server who shucked the last oyster
b.The date the last shellfish from that container was served
c.The number of oysters that were discarded as unusable that night
d.The price the operation paid the distributor for the whole sack
Explanation
The date on which the last molluscan shellfish from the container is sold or served must be recorded on the tag, label, or invoice, and the tag stays attached to the container until it is empty. That date is what starts the ninety-day retention clock investigators use to trace an illness back to a harvest area.
