Question

a food worker needs to measure the temperature of cold - held potato salad. where should she check the temperature? a. on the surface of the salad b. along the side of the salad dish c. in multiple places throughout the salad d. on the temperature gauge of the holding equipment

Explanation:

To accurately measure the temperature of cold - held potato salad, checking in multiple places throughout the salad is necessary. Surface temperature (Option A) may not represent the internal temperature. Checking along the side of the dish (Option B) measures the temperature of the dish, not the salad. The temperature gauge of the holding equipment (Option D) measures the equipment's temperature, not the food's. Food safety guidelines emphasize checking multiple spots in the food itself for an accurate temperature reading.

Answer:

C. In multiple places throughout the salad
