Question

7 multiple choice 1 point ice crystals on a frozen food item indicate poor personal hygiene poor cleaning and sanitizing time - temperature abuse cross contamination

Explanation:

Ice crystals on frozen food form due to temperature fluctuations (time - temperature abuse). When the food thaws slightly (temperature rises) and refreezes (temperature drops), water vapor in the food turns into ice crystals. Poor personal hygiene relates to human cleanliness, poor cleaning/sanitizing to surface cleanliness, and cross - contamination to mixing of contaminants, none of which directly cause ice crystals on frozen food.

Answer:

time - temperature abuse
