An operation that would like to cure its own meats on site is required to do what?

• A. Create a HACCP plan
• B. Obtain a special license
• C. Use premade cures
• D. No special requirement

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is whether curing meat on site automatically creates a separate, special regulatory requirement beyond standard food-safety practices. In many retail and food-service settings, curing meat on site is treated as a processing activity that must be done safely under the shop’s normal licenses and health regulations, but it does not inherently trigger an additional, stand-alone requirement like a HACCP plan, a special license, or the use of premade cures. What matters is adhering to general food-safety rules—proper sanitation, preventing cross-contamination, maintaining correct temperatures, using approved curing agents, labeling appropriately, and complying with local laws governing processing meat. If a jurisdiction imposes extra rules for meat processing, those would come from local authorities, not from curing on site by itself.
