Question

how should food workers protect food from contamination after it is cooked?
a. use single - use gloves to handle the food
b. apply hand sanitizer before handling the food
c. leave the food to cool on the clean countertop
d. place the food on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator
review later leave question feedback

Explanation:

Single - use gloves act as a barrier between the food worker's hands and the food, reducing the risk of contamination. Hand sanitizer is not a substitute for proper handwashing (and in some cases, even after handwashing, gloves are needed). Leaving food on a countertop (even a clean one) can expose it to environmental contaminants. Placing food on the bottom shelf of a refrigerator may not be the best way to protect from contamination (it could be contaminated by drips from other foods above, for example).

Answer:

a. Use single - use gloves to handle the food
