A buffet restaurant checks its hot line every 4 hours. At the 4-hour check, the tomato soup reads 120°F. The cook suggests reheating it to 165°F. What should the manager decide?

a.Approve the reheat, but only if the soup is served within 30 minutes
b.Approve the reheat; 165°F kills any bacteria that grew
c.Keep serving the soup since tomato soup is acidic
d.Reject the reheat and discard the soup; under a 4-hour checking schedule, food found below 135°F must be thrown out

Giải thích

With 4-hour checks, the soup may have sat in the danger zone for nearly 4 hours, long enough for some bacteria to produce heat-stable toxins that reheating cannot destroy. That is why the 4-hour schedule requires discarding food found out of temperature.
