A juice bar wants to bottle its fresh-squeezed orange juice and sell it from a cooler. What does the Food Code require?
a.A 3-log reduction backed by written pasteurization records
b.A 5-log reduction under a HACCP plan, or a warning label
c.A 7-log reduction verified by a third-party laboratory
d.A 2-log reduction plus date marking for up to 7 days
Explanation
Juice packaged in a food establishment must be treated under a HACCP plan to attain a 5-log reduction, which is a 99.999% reduction, of the most resistant organism of public health significance. Untreated packaged juice may be sold only with the federal warning label, and an operation serving a highly susceptible population may not sell it at all.
