Question

1. which sequence of actions may you perform using the same pair of gloves?

a) cleaning a stainless steel table and then washing produce
b) pouring drinks, handling money, and then preparing a sandwich
c) chopping raw chicken for cooking and then cutting sandwich rolls
d) chopping raw onion followed by raw meat and putting both into a skillet

Explanation:

To determine the correct sequence, we analyze each option for food safety and cross - contamination:

• Option a: Cleaning a table (which may have contaminants) and then washing produce with the same gloves can transfer contaminants to the produce, so this is not safe.
• Option b: Handling money (which is dirty) and then preparing food with the same gloves can transfer germs to the food, so this is not safe.
• Option c: Chopping raw chicken (which has bacteria like Salmonella) and then cutting sandwich rolls (which are ready - to - eat) with the same gloves will transfer bacteria to the rolls, causing cross - contamination.
• Option d: Chopping raw onion and then raw meat and putting both into a skillet. Since both are raw ingredients that will be cooked (cooking kills bacteria), using the same gloves is acceptable as there will be no cross - contamination of ready - to - eat food.

Answer:

d) Chopping raw onion followed by raw meat and putting both into a skillet
