Question

what is the proper sequence for the process of keeping food safe?

○ clean, separate, boil, and chill

○ clean, separate, cook, and chill

○ clean, store, cook, and chill

○ clean, separate, cook, and freeze

Explanation:

The four key steps for food safety are cleaning (to remove contaminants), separating (to avoid cross - contamination), cooking (to kill harmful microorganisms), and chilling (to slow down microbial growth). Boiling is a type of cooking, but the general term 'cook' is more inclusive. Freezing is a form of chilling but the standard term used in food safety guidelines is 'chill' which includes both refrigeration and freezing in a broader sense. Storing is not one of the core four - step sequence for food safety in the context of immediate handling for safety.

Answer:

clean, separate, cook, and chill
