Wendys Training Practice Test

When can raw, unpackaged meat be offered for self-service?

1. At barbecue restaurants

2. At grocery stores

3. At Mongolian barbeques

4. At steak houses

The correct answer is: At Mongolian barbeques

Offering raw, unpackaged meat for self-service is typically allowed in settings where customers can choose and prepare their ingredients, like Mongolian barbeques. In these establishments, patrons often select various types of raw meats, vegetables, and other items to be cooked on a grill or stove right at their table. This practice is typically regulated and only allowed in specific contexts where food safety measures are in place to protect customers during the cooking process. In contrast, environments like barbecue restaurants, grocery stores, and steak houses generally do not allow self-service of raw meat, as it poses a higher risk of cross-contamination and foodborne illness. Each of these settings usually serves fully cooked meals or has strict guidelines for how raw meats should be handled and presented to ensure customer safety.
