which of the following is a potentially hazardous food?
○ dill pickle relish
○ fruit salad with vinaigrette
○ whole wheat flour
○ stuffed turkey breast

Explanation:

Potentially hazardous foods are those that are prone to microbial growth and spoilage. Dill pickle relish is highly acidic (low pH), which inhibits microbial growth. Whole wheat flour is dry (low water activity), also not conducive to microbial growth. Fruit salad with vinaigrette has some acidity from the vinaigrette. Stuffed turkey breast, however, has high moisture content and is a protein - rich food (from the turkey), which provides an ideal environment for microbial growth if not stored and handled properly.

Answer:

Stuffed turkey breast
