“The reuse of partially consumed food by restaurants is generally not permitted due to health code regulations.” COLORADO SPRINGS — One posh buffet chain

“The reuse of partially consumed food by restaurants is generally not permitted due to health code regulations.”

These rules, our sources say, are aimed at ensuring that food served to customers is safe and free from potential contaminants that could lead to food-borne illnesses.
