What action may an establishment choose to take regarding a condemned food product?

Voluntarily condemn the product
Immediately destroy the product
Notify the public of the issue
Store the product until further notice

The correct answer is: Voluntarily condemn the product

A food establishment may choose to voluntarily condemn a product as a proactive measure to ensure food safety and demonstrate compliance with health regulations. By taking this action, the establishment acknowledges that the product is unsafe for consumption and removes it from the supply chain, helping to protect public health. Voluntary condemnation not only reflects a commitment to food safety standards but also mitigates potential legal liabilities associated with serving contaminated or spoiled products. Choosing to voluntarily condemn a product can also enhance the establishment's reputation, as it shows accountability and responsibility to customers and regulatory agencies. This action is often preferred over other options that may delay the resolution of the issue or potentially compromise food safety.
