• A. Catered events
• B. Salad bars
• C. Sushi bars
• D. Self-selection display cases

Answer: (A)

Consumer advisories inform guests about the risk of raw or undercooked foods and must be posted or otherwise made available at self-service units where such foods are offered. The exception applies to catered events because the food is served by staff, not self-served by patrons; in these cases the advisory can be provided on the menu or by the caterer to attendees, satisfying the requirement without needing a sign at the self-service area.
