Question

test your knowledge
viruses are best controlled by*
● good personal hygiene, washing hands,
no barehand contact with ready - to - eat
foods and not working while ill
● time and temperature
● going to the doctor when sick
● not smoking while working in the
kitchen
what must be done with dented
damaged cans found in the storage
room?*
● use immediately
● if the can is not bulging, it is okay to use
● set the can aside to be returned to the
vendor or thrown away
● open the can to smell the contents to
check the food for spoilage

Explanation:

1. For virus control in food handling, personal hygiene practices prevent transmission since viruses spread via contact; time/temperature controls target bacteria, not viruses.
2. Dented/damaged cans risk contamination (e.g., botulism from compromised seals), so they should be removed from use.

Answer:

1. Good personal hygiene, washing hands, no barehand contact with ready-to-eat foods and not working while ill
2. Set the can aside to be returned to the vendor or thrown away
