A server clears a table and finds these four items. Which one may be given to the next party?
a.A basket of dinner rolls that was never once touched by anyone
b.A ramekin of butter pats with the foil still on
c.A bowl of tortilla chips that still looks completely full
d.A sealed packet of oyster crackers in sound condition
Explanation
Food that is not TCS may be re-served only if it is in an unopened original package in sound condition, such as crackers, salt, or pepper, or if it is dispensed from a closed container such as a narrow-neck bottle. Rolls, butter ramekins, and chip bowls have all been in the possession of a consumer in open containers, so they are discarded.
