at least 155 degrees F

Question 4

Fish and other meats

Answer 4

145 degrees F monitoring 15 seconds

Question 5

Unpasteurized eggs

Answer 5

145 degrees F monitoring 15 seconds - Cook until white is set and yolk congealed

Question 6

Cooking raw animal foods in microwave

Answer 6

Foods should be rotated and stirred during the cooking process to heat 165 degrees F; allowed to stand covered for at least 2 minutes after cooking to obtain temperature equilibrium.

Question 7

Reheating Foods

Answer 7

165 degrees F for monitoring at least 15 seconds before holding for hot service.

Question 8

Reheating Foods- Ready to eat foods taken from sealed container or intact package

Answer 8

heated to at least 135 degrees F for holding for hot service.

Question 9

Fresh, Frozen , or canned fruits and vegetables that are cooked do not require the same level of microorganism destruction as raw meat food.

Answer 9

Cooking to a hot holding temperature 135 degrees F to prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria

Question 10

Thawing items submerging under cold water

Answer 10

at 70 degrees F or below, water running fast enough to agitate and float off loose ice particles

Question 11

Refrigerated Storage

Answer 11

PHF/TCS Food maintained at or below 41 degrees F or 0 degrees F to keep frozen

Question 12

PHF

Answer 12

Potentially Hazardous Food

Question 13

TCS

Answer 13

Time/Temperature control for safety

Question 14

Freezing does not kill bacteria

Answer 14

Rapid death of most bacteria occurs at 165 degrees F

Question 15

Danger zones

Answer 15

Temperatures above 41 degrees F and below 135 degrees F that allow rapid growth of pathogenic microorganism that can cause foodborne illness. Potentially Hazardous Foods (PHF), or Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS). Food held in in danger zone for more than 4 hours (if being prepared from ingredients at ambient temperature) or 6 hours ( if cooked and cooled) may cause a food borne illness outbreak if consumed.

Question 16

Cooked potentially hazardous foods that are subject to time and control for safety are best cooled rapidly within

Answer 16

2 hours from 135 degrees F to 70 degrees
and within 4 hours to the temperature of approximately 41 degrees.
Total time for cooling from 135 to 41 should not exceed 6 hours.

165 degrees F

Question 20

Reheated foods are best discarded if not eaten within

Answer 20

2 hours after reheating
