Question

You purchase deli meat wrapped in plastic from a grocery store, carry it out to your car in a paper bag, and leave it in the car while running errands for another hour. It is 80 degrees outside. Which of the four steps of food safety have you neglected to follow?

A. clean
B. separate
C. cook
D. chill
E. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: Chill it.

Explanation: Because if it is 80 degrees out you're obviously not chilling it, it's probably cooking in that heat. I don't think this ties in with cleanliness because you clean it before you cook it and you aren't cooking it at the moment, therefore A and C are out. I don't know what it means by separate. If it means to separate the meat from other foods then you are also neglecting that but if it just means to separate the individual slices then that isn't applicable because you aren't cooking it yet.
