HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Which food items can be displayed in a self-service area without the use of packaging, sneeze guards, or a display case to protect them from contamination? Answer: B because a nut has an outer shell to protect it from contaminates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nuts in the shell, whole raw fruits and vegetables that are intended for hulling, peeling or washing by the consumer before consumption are not required to have protective devices when displayed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sneeze Guards In most cases, food on a buffet line or salad bar won’t be packaged, so it’s important to keep a barrier between customers and the food. This is usually accomplished by a “sneeze guard”-also known as a “food guard” or “food shield”-installed over the self-service equipment.

Detailed explanation-4: -To minimize the chances of food cross-contamination and cross-contact, separate utensils for each type of food must be provided. Similarly, there must be enough clean plates, cutleries, and serving utensils as the same dishes or dirty utensils cannot be used twice for serving.
