A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Food safety organizations usually recommend using a nonporous cutting board for raw meat, like plastic. If you do use wood with meat, make sure you sanitize it and dry it thoroughly. If you must use wood, choose bamboo. It’s the least porous of the wood family.

Detailed explanation-2: -A plastic cutting board is a great option for working with raw chicken, beef, fish, and other raw meats. Since plastic cutting boards are not porous, bacteria from raw meat cannot be trapped. When you need cutting boards for raw meat, a plastic board works well.

Detailed explanation-3: -In summary wood is the ideal material for a cutting board to use for your meat cuts. Plastic is ok too but when grooves start to show, toss it. Glass will damage your knives in no time. But glass boards are non porous so bacteria cannot form.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ultimately, glass cutting boards do not require any oil treatment, and they have a smooth, non-porous surface. Therefore, they are safe for cutting poultry, seafood, and raw meat. In addition, you can use cleaning chemicals such as bleach on them, and the potentially toxic cleaning solution will rinse right off.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plastic: Plastic is generally considered the best option for raw meat because it’s dishwasher safe and has a non-porous surface. Wood: Wood cutting boards (including bamboo) can be difficult to sanitize, as they can’t go in the dishwasher. Composite: Composite cutting boards offer the best of both worlds. 18-Jul-2022
