answer:As long as the food is kept cool enough or warm enough to satisfy the local Board of Health, there is no violation of law or regulation, as far as I know. However, most stores have quality and policy guidelines that are stricter than simply “following the Board of Health”. Go ahead and complain about a dry, poor-quality product and let the store make it up to you, but I don’t think that a law has been violated just because it’s dried out and tasteless.
