Chilling Practices Quiz for Food Handlers

Food preservation does all of the following EXCEPT:

In degrees Fahrenheit, what is the temperature range of the Danger Zone?

Reheated food items must be heated for a minimum of 15 seconds to at least:

The preservation technique that attempts to remove moisture is:

"Chilling" is most commonly practiced by:

All of the following are Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food (TCS) EXCEPT:

Bacterial contamination can spread quickly because if the conditions are right, bacteria can multiply in:

It is important that food servers are trained to know food ingredients because:

The best temperature for short-term refrigeration storage is:

Which preservation technique involves heating foods to mild temperatures and then cooling them down immediately?

Food Preservation and Safety Practices

Food preservation aims to prevent the growth of microorganisms; promoting their growth is incorrect.
The Danger Zone, where bacteria thrive, is between 41°F and 135°F.
Reheated food items must reach a minimum temperature of 165°F for at least 15 seconds to ensure safety.

Preservation Techniques

Dehydration is a method used to remove moisture from food, helping to inhibit microbial growth.
Commercial food distributors primarily practice "chilling" to keep food safe during transport and storage.
Pasteurization is a preservation technique involving heating foods at mild temperatures followed by rapid cooling.

Safety Food Guidelines

Not all foods require strict Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS); processed garlic oil mixtures are an exception.
Bacterial contamination can double rapidly under optimal conditions, with a potential growth time of 10 to 20 minutes.

Allergen Awareness

Food servers must be knowledgeable about food ingredients to assist customers with food allergies effectively.

Refrigeration Standards

For short-term refrigeration storage, the ideal temperature is below 41°F to keep food safe.
