when delivering food for off - site service, raw poultry must be stored
at a lower temperature than ready - to - eat food
separately from ready - to - eat food
without temperature control
above raw beef

Explanation:

To determine the correct storage of raw poultry during off - site food delivery, we analyze each option:

• Option "at a lower temperature than ready - to - eat food": There's no food safety rule mandating raw poultry to be at a lower temperature than ready - to - eat food. The key is separation to prevent cross - contamination, not temperature difference in this way.
• Option "separately from ready - to - eat food": Raw poultry can carry pathogens. Storing it separately from ready - to - eat food prevents cross - contamination, which is a fundamental food safety principle.
• Option "without temperature control": All potentially hazardous foods, including raw poultry, need temperature control to prevent bacterial growth. So this option is incorrect.
• Option "above raw beef": Raw poultry has a higher risk of carrying harmful bacteria like Salmonella. To prevent drippings from contaminating other raw meats, it should be stored below raw beef, not above.

Answer:

B. separately from ready - to - eat food
