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:

-
Food handling procedures
Correct Answer
A. RestrictionExplanation
Restriction is the correct answer because in this scenario, the food handler is experiencing symptoms of illness that could potentially contaminate the food or food contact surfaces. By telling them that they cannot work around food or food contact surfaces, you are implementing a restriction to prevent the spread of illness and maintain food safety. This is a precautionary measure to ensure that the food being prepared and served is safe for consumption.Rate this question:

-
Citrus
-

Where should pesticides be stored?
-
Close to the food-preparation area for easy access
-
In a locked storage area away from food
-
In the dry-storage area
-
In a bin or box under the sink
Correct Answer
A. In a locked storage area away from foodExplanation
Pesticides should be stored in a locked storage area away from food to prevent any contamination or accidental ingestion. Storing them close to the food-preparation area or under the sink can pose a risk to food safety and human health. The dry-storage area may not provide adequate protection against moisture or temperature changes that can affect the effectiveness of the pesticides. Therefore, the best practice is to keep pesticides securely locked away from food in a designated storage area.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a step in proper handwashing?
-
Wetting hands with hot water and applying soap
-
Vigorously scrubbing hands and arms for 10-15 seconds

-
Drying hands and arms on a common cloth towel
Correct Answer
A. Drying hands and arms on a common cloth towelExplanation
Drying hands and arms on a common cloth towel is not a step in proper handwashing because using a common cloth towel can lead to the spread of bacteria and other germs. It is recommended to use disposable paper towels or air dryers to avoid cross-contamination.Rate this question:

Which of the following diseases can be transmitted through food?
-
AIDS
-
Tuberculosis
-
Hepatitis A
-
Hepatitis C
Correct Answer
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:

When must a foodhandler remove his apron?
-
Before the end of the shift
-
When leaving food-preparation areas
-
When returning from the washroom
-
After cutting meat
Correct Answer
A. When leaving food-preparation areasExplanation
A foodhandler must remove his apron when leaving food-preparation areas to prevent cross-contamination. Aprons can accumulate bacteria and other contaminants while working in food-preparation areas. Removing the apron before leaving these areas helps to ensure that any potential contaminants do not spread to other areas of the establishment.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements is correct?
-
Hand sanitizers can be used in place of handwashing.
-
Disposable gloves can be used in place of handwashing.
-
Foodhandlers must wait for hand sanitizer to dry before touching food.
-
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:
