FOOD SAFETY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Many food capable of allowing germs to grow rapidly, example like watermelon because it moist, dairies and meat because they have a lot of protein and other food with neutral acidity because they don’t have very high or very low acidity. These potentially hazardous foods are reflected on which icon of International Food Safety?
A
Do not Work if ill
B
Wash your hands
C
No bare- hand contact
D
Do not cross- contaminate
E
Potentially hazardous food /Time- Temperature Control for Safety of Food (PHF/TCS)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pH of maximum growth rate is called the optimal growth pH. Based on optimal growth pH, microbes can be separated into three groups: acidophiles grow best at pH < 5, neutrophiles grow optimally at pH between 5 and 9, and alkaliphiles grow fastest above pH 9 (Horikoshi, 1999; Baker-Austin and Dopson, 2007).

Detailed explanation-2: -Microorganisms, including yeasts, molds, and bacteria, are sensitive to a food’s pH. Very low or very high pH values will prevent microbial growth. As a practical matter, no unprocessed food has a pH value high enough to offer much preservative value.
