What should you do if you suspect a product has been recalled or contaminated?

• A. Return it to shelf to be sold.
• B. Quarantine it, do not use or taste it, and notify the supervisor immediately.
• C. Taste a small amount to verify contamination.
• D. Ignore it if it looks fine.

Answer: (B)

When a product might be recalled or contaminated, the priority is to stop any risk to customers and start the proper response immediately. Quarantine the product, do not use or taste it, and tell your supervisor right away. This step prevents accidental service of possibly unsafe items and triggers the official recall or contamination handling process, so the right actions can be taken—such as isolating the item, documenting it, and following disposal or return instructions. Never rely on appearance or a quick taste test to judge safety, and never put it back on the shelf or ignore the potential issue. The goal is to protect people and maintain proper traceability and control over the product.
