Sanitation Certification Practice Test

What is a requirement for milk containers upon delivery?

1. Must display a sell-by date

2. Must be made from glass only

3. Must have a government inspection sticker

4. Must be frozen prior to delivery

The correct answer is: Must display a sell-by date

Milk containers must display a sell-by date upon delivery to ensure food safety and quality. The sell-by date provides important information about the freshness of the milk, allowing retailers to manage stock effectively and consumers to make informed decisions about the products they purchase. Milk should be sold and consumed before this date to prevent spoilage and ensure optimal taste and texture. The other choices do not reflect common requirements for milk containers upon delivery. The option regarding glass containers is not universally applicable, as milk can be packaged in various materials, including plastic and cardboard. Similarly, a government inspection sticker is not a standard requirement for all milk deliveries, although regulations may vary by location. Lastly, freezing milk before delivery is not a standard practice, as it can negatively impact the quality of the milk once thawed.
