Receiving & StorageQuestion 399 of 500
A supplier offers live oysters in an unlabeled cooler with no paperwork. What must accompany a legal shipment of shellstock?
a.A packing slip showing the price and the case count
b.A tag with the harvester and dealer certification number
c.A note from the boat captain giving the harvest weather report
d.A card with the recommended cooking time for the oysters
Explanation
Shellstock must arrive with a tag or label bearing the identity of the original shipper, including the certification number of the harvester or dealer, so the lot can be traced to an approved harvest area. Price paperwork and informal notes carry none of the information an illness investigation needs.
