the most effective measure in the control of bacterial growth is:
possible answers:
a) time - temperature control
b) ph control
c) inventory control
d) dishwashing control

Explanation:

Bacterial growth is highly dependent on temperature and time; controlling both (e.g., refrigeration, cooking to safe temps) directly inhibits or kills bacteria, making it the most effective measure. pH control has limited scope, inventory control prevents spoilage indirectly, and dishwashing control targets surface bacteria but is less comprehensive for growth prevention.

Answer:

A) Time-temperature control
