to control the growth of harmful bacteria:
possible answers:
a) cooked gravy is to be stored above 60°c (140°f)
b) cooked gravy is to be cooled by leaving it at room temperature overnight
c) heat gravy in a microwave oven at 43°c (120°f)

Explanation:

• Bacteria growth is controlled by keeping food either hot (above 60°C/140°F) to prevent growth or cooling it quickly (not leaving at room temp overnight as in B which allows bacteria growth) and heating to proper temps (microwave at 43°C/120°F in C is not a high - enough temp to kill bacteria if it was contaminated).

Answer:

A. Cooked gravy is to be stored above 60°C (140°F)
