b.Holding food above 140°F
c.Adding acid to lower the pH

Giải thích
Hepatitis A is a virus shed in feces and transmitted by infected workers who do not wash their hands properly; cooking is not a reliable control because the virus is fairly heat-tolerant and contamination often occurs after cooking. Rigorous handwashing, excluding diagnosed workers, and avoiding bare-hand contact with ready-to-eat food are the key defenses. A vaccine also exists for prevention.
