Contamination & AllergensQuestion 78 of 320
A manager discovers that a batch of packaged food may be part of a supplier recall. What is the correct response?
a.Keep selling it until the current stock runs out
b.Move it to a different cooler and use it quietly
c.Remove the recalled product from inventory, label it 'Do Not Use,' store it separately, and follow the recall notice
d.Throw it in the regular trash immediately without records
Explanation
For a recall, the manager should identify and remove the recalled product from service, label it clearly as 'Do Not Use' or 'Do Not Sell,' store it separately from other food, and follow the recall notice instructions for return or disposal while keeping records. Continuing to sell, hiding it, or discarding it without documentation fails to protect customers and comply with the recall.
