Question

which action can help minimize food safety risks?
○ cleaning under the fingernails when washing hands
○ washing hands with water only before cutting an apple
○ using a grater to chop vegetables while preparing a meal
○ using the same cutting board to cut meat, green peppers, and onions

Explanation:

To minimize food safety risks, proper handwashing (including cleaning under fingernails) removes germs. Washing with water only isn't enough (needs soap), a grater isn’t for chopping vegetables, and reusing a cutting board for meat and veggies can cross - contaminate. So cleaning under fingernails when washing hands is correct.

Answer:

A. cleaning under the fingernails when washing hands
