If recipes in a food enterprise are only verbal and not documented, what risk exists?

Correct answer: Taste consistency and training continuity may weaken

When recipes exist only in spoken form, important details may depend on one person’s memory or personal method. A new worker may not know the exact quantities, order of steps, cooking time or temperature. As a result, the same item may taste different on different days, and training may become slow or incomplete. Therefore, option A is correct: taste consistency and continuity of training may weaken.

Written or otherwise recorded recipes preserve shared knowledge. They can state ingredients, measurements, procedure, yield, cooking controls and presentation details in a form that staff can follow and update. Documentation does not by itself guarantee food safety, but it supports standardisation and can include safety instructions. The other options are impossible conclusions: verbal recipes do not ensure more customers, infinite shelf life or complete safety. The supplied answer is accurate.
