Detailed explanation-1: -Viruses can survive refrigerator and freezer temperatures. Pathogens need six conditions to grow–food, acidity, temperature, time, oxygen, and mold. Food prepared and served off-site must be packed in non-insulated food containers. Cleaning reduces pathogens on a surface to safe levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -False: Viruses are not destroyed by normal cooking temps. That is why it is important to practice good personal hygiene when handling food and food contact surfaces as well as to remove and clean up vomit quickly and thoroughly.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conditions. There are sufficient nutrients available that promote the growth of microorganisms. Protein-rich foods, such as meat, milk, eggs and fish are most susceptible. Foodborne pathogens require a slightly acidic pH level of 4.6–7.5, while they thrive in conditions with a pH of 6.6–7.5.
