Foodborne Illness第 2 / 240 题
Which of the following is a TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) food, also called a potentially hazardous food (PHF)?
a.Cooked white rice
b.Uncut whole lemons
c.Dry pasta in a box
d.Granulated sugar
解析
TCS/PHF foods support rapid bacterial growth because they are moist, protein-rich, and low in acid; cooked rice is a classic example that can grow Bacillus cereus if left in the danger zone. Whole lemons, dry pasta, and sugar are not TCS because they lack available moisture or are too acidic. Supervisors must give TCS foods strict time and temperature control.
