Time & Temperature (NYC)第 54 / 240 题
A supervisor finds cut melon on the salad bar reading 50°F. According to NYC cold-holding rules, the food is:
a.Fine, since 50°F is below room temperature
b.In the danger zone (above 41°F) — corrective action is required, such as rapid cooling if within time limits or discarding
c.Safe because melon is a fruit
d.Safe as long as it looks fresh
解析
Cut melon is a TCS food that must be held at 41°F or below; at 50°F it is in the danger zone and out of compliance. The supervisor must take corrective action — determine how long it has been out of temperature, rapidly re-cool it if still within allowable time, or discard it. Appearance and being a fruit do not make it safe.
