How long must shell stock tags be kept on file after the last shellfish was sold?

30 days
60 days
90 days
120 days

The correct answer is: 90 days

The requirement to keep shell stock tags on file for 90 days after the last shellfish has been sold is established to ensure food safety and traceability. This duration allows for adequate time to track any potential foodborne illnesses that may arise from the consumption of shellfish. In the event that a health issue is reported, food safety officials can trace the origins of the shellfish back to their source, facilitating necessary investigations and ensuring consumer safety. Maintaining these records is crucial not only for compliance with health regulations but also for demonstrating due diligence in maintaining food safety practices. The 90-day period serves as a standard timeframe that balances the need for thorough record-keeping while managing the practical aspects of storage and documentation within a food service operation.
