To prevent food contamination, you should never store food with high acidity, such as tomato juice, in
-
Glass containers.
-
China containers.
-
Galvanized containers.
-
Plastic containers.
Correct Answer
A. Galvanized containers.Explanation
Galvanized containers should not be used to store food with high acidity, such as tomato juice, to prevent food contamination. This is because galvanized containers are made of steel or iron that has been coated with a layer of zinc, which can react with the acid in the food and contaminate it. Therefore, it is important to use other types of containers like glass, china, or plastic to store food with high acidity.Rate this question:

-
AIDS
-

A. Hepatitis AExplanation
Hepatitis A is the correct answer because it is a viral infection that can be transmitted through contaminated food or water. It is commonly spread through improper handling or preparation of food, as well as poor sanitation practices. Other diseases listed such as AIDS and tuberculosis are not typically transmitted through food, while hepatitis C is primarily transmitted through blood-to-blood contact.Rate this question:

-

-
Foodhandlers can reuse gloves if they wash their hands between tasks.
Correct Answer
A. Foodhandlers must wait for hand sanitizer to dry before touching food.Explanation
Hand sanitizers are not a substitute for handwashing, but they can be used as an additional measure when handwashing is not possible. Disposable gloves should also not be used as a replacement for handwashing, as they can still harbor bacteria and should be used in conjunction with proper hand hygiene. Foodhandlers must wait for hand sanitizer to dry before touching food to ensure that the sanitizer has effectively killed any potential pathogens on their hands. Reusing gloves is not recommended, as washing hands between tasks is not sufficient to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.Rate this question:

Storing toothpicks in from food-preparation areas
Correct Answer
A. Storing toothpicks in from food-preparation areasExplanation
Storing toothpicks in food-preparation areas can result in physical hazards and food contamination. When toothpicks are stored in areas where food is prepared, there is a risk of them falling into the food and becoming a choking hazard or causing injury if consumed. This can lead to contamination of the food and potential harm to consumers. Therefore, storing toothpicks in food-preparation areas is an example of a physical hazard that can result in food contamination.Rate this question:
