Question

a food worker vomits a few hours before he is scheduled to work, but he feels better in time for his shift. when he arrives at work, he is assigned to scoop ice cream for customers. what hazard is most likely to contaminate the ice cream he serves? a. bacteria and viruses from his hands b. plastic and metal fragments from the scoop c. bacteria multiplying in the ice cream compartments

Explanation:

The food worker vomited, which can be a sign of an infectious illness. Even if he feels better, his hands may still carry bacteria or viruses from the illness. Option b is about physical contaminants from the scoop, which is less likely if the scoop is in good condition. Option c involves bacteria multiplying in the ice cream compartments, but the immediate hazard from the worker's recent vomiting is more likely related to his hands contaminating the ice cream as he scoops.

Answer:

a. Bacteria and viruses from his hands
