A manager is buying a new reach-in cooler for TCS food. What does the Food Code require the unit to have?
a.A door alarm that sounds if the door is left standing open
b.A temperature measuring device that is easy to read
c.A drain line that runs directly to the floor sink
d.A shelf liner that can always be removed for cleaning
Explanation
Cold or hot holding equipment used for TCS food must include at least one integral or permanently affixed temperature measuring device located so the display is easy to view. The sensor also has to sit in the warmest part of a refrigerator, since that is where the food is most at risk.
