Answer:
smoked as a means of preparation
Step-by-step explanation:
Methods that require a variance include:
• smoking food as a method of preservation;
• curing food such as ham, sausages, etc.;
• using food additives to preserve food such as vinegar to preserve or alter food so it is no longer a TCS food;
• operating molluscan shellfish tanks that display live shellfish offered for consumption;
• undercooking of food other than "whole muscle intact beef" and not wanting to use a consumer advisory;
• custom processing of animals, such as dressing a deer, for personal use in a food establishment;
• sprouting of seeds or beans; and
• reduced oxygen packaging (ROP), where Clostridium botulinum and Listeria monocytogenes are a concern, and only one barrier, i.e., refrigeration, exists.
