What should you do if an outbreak is suspected?

Nothing, wait for symptoms to pass
Advise staff to be more careful
Increase cleaning routines
Contact the local regulatory authority

The correct answer is: Contact the local regulatory authority

In the event of a suspected outbreak, it is crucial to contact the local regulatory authority immediately. This action is essential because the regulatory authority needs to be notified of any suspected outbreaks to investigate and control the situation effectively. By promptly involving the local regulatory authority, proper steps can be taken to prevent the spread of foodborne illnesses and protect public health. It is not advisable to ignore the situation (choice A), simply advise staff to be more careful (choice B), or increase cleaning routines (choice C) when an outbreak is suspected; prompt action by the regulatory authority is crucial in such situations.
