Question

a food worker uses a spatula to flip hamburger patties as they cook on a grill. what must she do before using this spatula to assemble the completed burgers? a. dip it in antiseptic b. rinse it in hot water c. wipe off any grease d. clean and sanitize it

Explanation:

In food safety, when a utensil (like a spatula) is used for raw food (flipping hamburger patties) and then will be used for ready - to - eat food (assembling completed burgers), it must be cleaned and sanitized. Antiseptic dip (a) is not a standard food - safety procedure for utensils in this context. Rinsing in hot water (b) does not remove all contaminants or sanitize. Wiping off grease (c) only removes visible debris but does not ensure safety from pathogens. Cleaning removes dirt and debris, and sanitizing reduces the number of pathogens to a safe level.

Answer:

d. Clean and sanitize it
