<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> This is a reply I got from Ryan's about the issue of cross contamination. Does anyone know what "Serve Safe" practices are?

I can tell you that we use ServeSafe practices in our restaurants. This means that all care is taken not to cross contaminate during the storing of, prepartation of, or cooking of foods. We also strive to keep our buffet bars clean and fresh. So, any item coming out of our kitchen would not be a risk for cross contamination. Unfortunately, I can not guarantee that a fellow customer would not inadvertenly use serving utensils between food items. We do try to watch for such occurances, but we can not catch all of them. I hope this helps in your decision making process. Please do give Ryan's a try. Sincerely, Shareen Patterson Mktg. Asst. Ryan's --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
