To thaw frozen food:
- A.
Place the item on a prep table at room temperature
- B.
Place the item in a cooler at 41*F or lower
Correct Answer
B. Place the item in a cooler at 41*F or lowerExplanation
The correct answer is to place the item in a cooler at 41*F or lower. This is because thawing frozen food at room temperature can lead to the growth of bacteria, as the outer layers of the food may reach a temperature that allows bacteria to multiply. Thawing in a cooler at 41*F or lower ensures that the food remains at a safe temperature and minimizes the risk of bacterial growth.Rate this question:

When using pooled eggs:
- A.
Cook them right after mixing or stone them at room temperature
- B.
Cook them right after mixing or store them at 41*F or lower
Correct Answer
B. Cook them right after mixing or store them at 41*F or lowerExplanation
When using pooled eggs, it is important to either cook them immediately after mixing or store them at a temperature of 41°F or lower. This is because eggs can contain harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, which can multiply rapidly at room temperature. By cooking the eggs right after mixing or storing them at a low temperature, the growth of bacteria is minimized, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses.Rate this question:

When packaging fresh fruit juice on site for sale later
- A.
Treat the juice according to an approved HACCP plan
- B.
Treat the juice by freezing and thawing it before packaging
Correct Answer
A. Treat the juice according to an approved HACCP planExplanation
To ensure the safety and quality of the fresh fruit juice, it is important to treat it according to an approved HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) plan. HACCP is a systematic approach to identify, assess, and control potential hazards in food production. By following an approved HACCP plan, the juice can be processed and packaged in a way that minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures that it meets the necessary food safety standards. Freezing and thawing alone may not be sufficient to address all potential hazards, so a comprehensive HACCP plan is necessary.Rate this question:

If a menu includes TCS items that are raw or undercooked
- A.
You do not need to note it on the menu if you mainly serve high risk population
- B.
You must not need it on the menu next to each raw or undercooked item
Correct Answer
B. You must not need it on the menu next to each raw or undercooked itemExplanation
If a menu includes TCS items that are raw or undercooked, you must not need to note it on the menu next to each raw or undercooked item. This implies that there is no requirement to provide specific warnings or indications for raw or undercooked items on the menu. However, it is important to note that this exemption applies only if the establishment mainly serves a high-risk population.

Correct Answer
B. Throw outExplanation
The correct answer is "throw out" because the customer returned the breaded, baked fish that they had ordered because they wanted broiled fish instead. Since the customer specifically requested a different preparation method, it would not be suitable to reserve the fish for another customer. Therefore, the fish should be discarded.Rate this question:
