Question

if cooked chicken is to be reheated, it must be:
possible answers:
a) warmed using heat lamps
b) reheated to at least 60°c (140°f) rapidly
c) reheated to at least 74°c (165°f) rapidly
d) none of the above

Explanation:

When reheating cooked chicken, it must reach a temperature of at least 74°C (165°F) rapidly to ensure food safety. This temperature kills harmful bacteria. Heating with heat lamps (Option A) is not sufficient for reheating as it may not reach the required temperature. Reheating to 60°C (140°F) (Option B) is also not enough as it may not eliminate all pathogens.

Answer:

C. Reheated to at least 74°C (165°F) rapidly
