Receiving & StorageQuestion 393 of 500
A cook pours bulk flour and bulk salt into two identical clear bins in dry storage. What does the Food Code require of those bins?
a.Each bin carries the date the bulk sack was opened
b.Each bin carries the supplier's lot number from the sack
c.Each bin carries the name of the cook who filled it
d.Each bin carries the common name of the food inside
Explanation
Working containers holding food removed from its original package, such as cooking oil, flour, salt, spices, and sugar, must be identified with the common name of the food. The exception is food that is readily and unmistakably recognized, such as dry pasta, and two identical bins of white powder are exactly the case the rule exists for.
