  1. Olive oil
  2. Dates
  3. Plain black tea

  1. Samosa with wheat pastry
  2. Plain boiled rice
  3. Fresh fruit salad
  4. Grilled fish with lemon
The right answer: A. Samosa with wheat pastry

Question 5 of 7Your kitchen fries shrimp and French fries in the same oil. A customer with a shellfish allergy orders fries. What is right?

  2. Serve them. Fries do not contain shellfish
  3. Tell her the fries are not safe for her
  4. Take the shrimp pieces out of the oil first
The right answer: C. Tell her the fries are not safe for her

Here is why: Shrimp allergen stays in the shared oil and gets onto the fries. Heat does not destroy allergens. Only fries from clean, separate oil are safe.
