Question

true or false: most bacterial toxin cannot be destroyed by regular cooking temperatures. so when potentially hazardous/high - risk food is temperature abused, it should be immediately discarded. true false

Explanation:

Bacterial toxins are heat - stable. Regular cooking temperatures (which are typically around 100°C for boiling water) may not destroy them. When potentially hazardous/high - risk food (such as meat, dairy products) is temperature - abused (left in the temperature danger zone of 5 - 60°C for an extended period), bacteria can grow and produce toxins. Since the toxins are not destroyed by regular cooking, the food should be discarded.

Answer:

True
