In a walk-in cooler, which food should be stored on the TOP shelf, above all the others?

解析

Ready-to-eat foods and washed produce go on the top shelf, above all raw animal foods, so raw juices cannot drip onto them. Raw animal foods are stored below in order of their minimum cooking temperature, with poultry lowest. Sealed pans, covered tubs, and deep pans do not change that order: placing raw chicken, ground beef, or pork above ready-to-eat food still risks dripping pathogens onto it if a container leaks.
