SOLUTIONS
A cleaning agent that physically scrubs soil from surfaces is known as - ANSWER-
Abrasive
A foodborne illness is classified as intoxication when ______. - ANSWER-A toxin is
produced by bacteria on or in the food prior to ingesting it
A chemical is present in the food or drink prior to consumption
A sample population will be finite or
1. Moveable.
2. Compartmentalized.
3. Infinite.
4. Homogenous. - ANSWER-3
A population can either be finite or infinite. A finite population has definite size samples.
For example a barrel full of oil is finite. An infinite population does not have a definite
size. An example of this is a moving belt that has apples continuously going down it. On
this apples are removed at various times/points.
An employee must not work with food if he or she is _____.
1. Coughing.
2. Hot.
3. Fatigued.
4. Cold. - ANSWER-1
Any discharge from the eyes, ears, or nose is a food safety risk. A coughing employee
must not work with food. The manager may assign tasks that are away from the food
prep area, equipment, or utensils.
Beef and pork are common ingredients. When is it safe to place them together?
1. Preparation.
2. Storage.
3. Holding.
4. Display. - ANSWER-1
Different animal products should be kept separate to prevent cross-contamination. The
different products can be combined in the process of food preparation. This is only
suitable if the products are part of the same recipe.
Coving tiles must provide ... - ANSWER-1/4-inch radius and 4"height
, Difference between foodborne infection, toxin-mediated foodborne infection, and
foodborne Intoxication? - ANSWER-Foodborne infection - consumption of live
pathogens that reproduce in the body and cause illness.
Toxin-mediated - consumption of live pathogens that reproduce in the small intestine
and produce a toxin that is the cause of illness
Intoxication - illness caused by consuming a good containing chemical hazard or toxin
(already formed)
Examples of Foodborne Infection microorganisms - ANSWER-Salmonella typhi,
Camplyobacter jujeni, Listeria, and Nontyphoidal Salmonella
Examples of Foodborne Intoxication microorganisms - ANSWER-Staphylococcus
aureus, Bacillus cereous, Clostridium botulinum
Examples of parasites - ANSWER-Trichenella, Toxiplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium
parvum
Examples of toxin mediated Foodborne infection microorganisms - ANSWER-E. coli
O157:H7, Clostridium perfringens, shiga-toxin producing E. coli
Exposure to mycotoxins will cause what type of symptoms?
1. Cramps.
2. Respiratory.
3. Vomiting.
4. Eczema. - ANSWER-2
Mycotoxins are molds. Reactions to this food borne illness can cause respiratory
distress. It may be confused with an extreme allergic reaction.
Floors must be sloped to the drain at least... - ANSWER-1/8-inch per foot
Food allergy - ANSWER-Body's immune system reacts negatively to a chemical in a
specific food or food ingredient
Food lots are sampled by either taking samples in a manual manner or a/an
1. Unorganized manner.
2. Sporadic method.
3. Slicing method.
4. Continuous manner. - ANSWER-4
To gather a representative food specimen, food lots are gathered in both a manual and
continuous manner. When gathering information using either manner, the analyst
should consider the segregation effect.
For dry materials, use ____________ boxes, cans, bags, or packets with suitable
closures. - ANSWER-sterile metal
