Question

which one of the following is not a way that food can be contaminated?
touching raw chicken and then cooked chicken without changing gloves.
slicing roast beef and then slicing brisket with the same knife
storing potatoes above canned tomatoes
receiving a carton of fish with a temperature of 47 degrees f

Explanation:

• Touching raw chicken then cooked chicken without glove change causes cross - contamination (raw to cooked).
• Slicing roast beef and brisket (both cooked, same type of meat) with the same knife does not introduce contamination as they are both cooked and similar in terms of food safety risks here.
• Storing potatoes above canned tomatoes: If potatoes leak (e.g., due to spoilage), it can contaminate the canned tomatoes.
• Receiving fish at 47°F: Refrigerated fish should be at 41°F or below; 47°F is too warm and can lead to bacterial growth/contamination.

Answer:

Slicing roast beef and then slicing brisket with the same knife
