Question

Which of the following is most likely to cause foodborne illness?

Pooling 10 eggs for making omelets and storing it in an ice bath

Taking one to two hours to heat left over soup

Touching raw meat and then touching fresh fruit


Keeping a flat of eggs on the counter and using it within one hour

Answer 1

Touching raw meat and then touching fresh fruit.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the action that is most likely to cause foodborne illness. If we touch raw meat, we are likely picking up some of the bacteria that lives in this meat that could be dangerous for human consumption. This bacteria would die when we cook the meat. However, if we move them to fresh fruit, they will survive as the fruit will not be cooked.
