Receiving & StorageQuestion 402 of 500
A caterer packs canned sodas in a tub of ice for an event and has leftover ice at the end of the night. How may that ice be used?
a.It is never used as food and must be discarded
b.It may be used in drinks if it is rinsed with water
c.It may be used in drinks if it is still fully frozen
d.It may be used in drinks if the cans were unopened
Explanation
After ice is used to cool the exterior surfaces of food, packaged foods such as canned beverages, or equipment coils, it may not be used as food. The can exteriors carry whatever was on the warehouse floor and the delivery truck, and rinsing or refreezing does nothing about that.
