Question

true or false:
gravy and cooked rice are foods commonly implicated in outbreaks of food - borne illness so close attention should be paid to their temperatures.

Explanation:

Gravy and cooked rice are common foods that can support bacterial growth if not stored or handled properly. Monitoring their temperatures is crucial to prevent food - borne illness outbreaks. Bacteria multiply rapidly in the temperature danger zone (40°F - 140°F or 4.4°C - 60°C). Keeping these foods either hot (above 140°F or 60°C) or cold (below 40°F or 4.4°C) helps prevent bacterial growth.

True
