Under the six-hour cold option, what two times must appear on the food's marking?
a.The time it left cold holding and the time 6 hours later
b.The time it was cooked and the time it left cold holding
c.The time it was delivered and the time it was plated
d.The time it was marked and the time the shift ends
Explanation
The marking must show the time the food was removed from 41°F or less cold holding control and the time that is six hours past that point. The four-hour option requires only the ending time, which is one of the small differences that separates the two procedures.
