Receiving & StorageQuestion 387 of 500
A dairy delivery legally arrives at 45°F under the state milk law. What must the operation do after accepting it?
a.Hold the milk at 45°F until the printed sell-by date
b.Hold the milk at 45°F and use it within the same day
c.Cool the milk to 41°F or less within 4 hours
d.Cool the milk to 41°F or less within 24 hours
Explanation
Time/temperature control for safety food received above 41°F under a law governing its distribution must be cooled to 41°F or less within 4 hours. The receiving allowance covers the trip from the dairy, not storage in the operation, so the cooler has to bring it down promptly.
