Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum date of consumption for the deviled eggs and prepackaged dairy pastries would occur on the same day as they are both Time and Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) foods and would be within the same calendar week from the day they were prepared. Regardless of whether the food is hand prepared or opened as ready to eat directly from a manufacturer's packaging , both foods are categorized as TCS foods and therefore are subject to the same safety guidelines.
