Which of these plans requires a variance from the regulatory authority before the operation may begin?
a.Buying pre-cured bacon from an inspected processing plant
b.Serving raw oysters with a written consumer advisory
c.Cooling large batches of stock in an ice water bath
d.Installing a live tank to display oysters for sale
Explanation
Operating a molluscan shellfish life-support system display tank used to store or display shellfish offered for human consumption requires a variance, as do smoking for preservation, curing, using additives to preserve or render food non-TCS, most reduced-oxygen packaging, custom processing animals for personal use, and sprouting seeds or beans. Buying cured product, posting an advisory, and cooling in an ice bath are ordinary operations.
