    How might you go about thawing raw meat?

    • Run it under the hot tap

    • Keep it on the counter near cooked food so the heat helps it defrost

    • In a separate area away from other foods

    • In a hot pan on the stove

    Correct Answer
    A. In a separate area away from other foods
    Explanation
    To thaw raw meat safely, it should be done in a separate area away from other foods. This is important to prevent cross-contamination and the spread of harmful bacteria. Thawing meat in close proximity to cooked food or other ingredients can lead to the transfer of bacteria, increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses. By keeping the raw meat separate, you minimize the chances of contamination and ensure the safety of the thawed meat for consumption.

    What temperature should all refrigerators ideally operate at?

    • 0 degree

    • 18 degree

    • Between 1 and 4 degree 

    • 9 degree 

    Correct Answer
    A. Between 1 and 4 degree 
    Explanation
    Refrigerators should ideally operate at a temperature between 1 and 4 degrees Celsius. This temperature range is considered optimal for preserving food and preventing bacterial growth. Temperatures below 1 degree can cause food to freeze, while temperatures above 4 degrees can lead to spoilage. Therefore, maintaining a temperature between 1 and 4 degrees ensures that food stays fresh and safe for consumption.

    • 20°C or lower

    • 0°C

    Correct Answer
    A. -18°C or lower
    Explanation
    Frozen food should be kept at a temperature of -18°C or lower. This is because at this temperature, the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms is significantly slowed down, preventing the food from spoiling. Keeping frozen food at a lower temperature ensures that it remains safe to consume for an extended period of time.

    Which of these should your suppliers be able to demonstrate in terms of food safety?

    • The delivery temperature of the food they supply

    • The time of day they set off to deliver your food

    • The weight of the produce being delivered

    • Their allergies

    Correct Answer
    A. The delivery temperature of the food they supply
    Explanation
    Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the delivery temperature of the food they supply in terms of food safety. This is important because certain foods need to be stored and transported at specific temperatures to prevent the growth of bacteria and ensure food safety. If suppliers cannot demonstrate the appropriate delivery temperature, it could lead to foodborne illnesses and compromise the quality and safety of the food being supplied.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What should food's core temperature be to ensure bacteria is destroyed?

    • Anything above 100 degree

    • Minimum 50 degree

    • 75 degree 

    • If it is cooked slowly for a long time - any temperature

    Correct Answer
    A. 75 degree 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 75 degrees. Bacteria can be destroyed at temperatures above 60 degrees Celsius, and cooking food at a core temperature of 75 degrees ensures that any potential bacteria is killed off. This temperature is considered safe for consuming most types of food.

  • 8. 

    What kind of soap should be provided for hand washing?

    • Unscented

    • Bactericidal

    • ​​​​​Antiseptic

    • Lotionised

    Correct Answer
    A. Bactericidal
    Explanation
    Bactericidal soap should be provided for hand washing because it is specifically formulated to kill bacteria. This type of soap contains active ingredients that target and eliminate harmful bacteria on the hands, reducing the risk of infection and illness. Unscented, antiseptic, and lotionised soaps may have other beneficial properties, but they do not necessarily have the same bacteria-killing capabilities as bactericidal soap. Therefore, bactericidal soap is the most suitable choice for effective hand hygiene.

However, their role does not include the power to arrest individuals.
