NYS Health Code for serving and re-serving food to the public


NYS Health Code for serving and re-serving food to the public?
Say @ a church function we send out a dish of mashed potatoes,etc. and it's not completely gone, but the people are finished and leave...can these leftover potatoes be combined with the ones in the kitchen (not yet served) until the next time we dish up a bowl to pass. Same for any other foods at a church dinner...

Same for any other foods at a church dinner... Is there a health code and if so, what is it and where can I find it. I've gone to the NYS dept. of health site but couldn't find a specific code. Need to print it out to spread to those who think it's okay to do!

NO YOU CAN'T

only if you want to get shut down instantly and take the risk of infecting a lot of people with a disease.
4 :
How do you know if someone sneezed or coughed on their portion of their foods before you combine it with the fresh 'almost' sterile food ? That's very unsanitary, always has been, always will be.
5 :
It's good you're at a church function ,that way you can all pray that no one gets sick. No it's not legal
