When do you need a variance for prepping food?

  1. When microwaving food

  2. When grilling vegetables

  3. When curing food

  4. When boiling water

The correct answer is: When curing food

A variance for prepping food is needed when the food is going to be cured. This means that any food prep methods that do not involve curing, such as microwaving, grilling, or boiling, do not require a variance. A variance is essentially a written permission from the local health department to deviate from standard food handling and preparation protocols. So, in this case, choosing any of the options besides C would not require a variance.
