What should food workers do if they discover food is being held at the wrong temperatures?

Throw the food away immediately
Serve it quickly
Immediately notify the Person In Charge (manager)
Leave it as it is and hope for the best

The correct answer is: Immediately notify the Person In Charge (manager)

Food workers should immediately notify the Person In Charge (manager) if they discover food is being held at the wrong temperatures. It is important to inform the manager so that proper actions can be taken to prevent potential foodborne illnesses. Throwing the food away immediately (option A) may not be necessary depending on the severity and length of time the food has been held at the wrong temperature. Serving it quickly (option B) would only worsen the situation and potentially cause harm to customers. Leaving it as it is and hoping for the best (option D) is not a safe or responsible approach and could result in food contamination. Making the manager aware of the issue (option C) is the best way to ensure proper steps are taken to maintain food safety.
