Foodborne Illness第 34 / 240 题
Which of these hazards generally CANNOT be eliminated by cooking the food to a high temperature?
a.Live Salmonella bacteria
b.Preformed toxins such as those from Staphylococcus aureus, histamine (scombroid), and ciguatoxin
c.Live Campylobacter on chicken
d.Trichinella parasites in pork
解析
Cooking kills living bacteria and parasites, but it does not reliably destroy preformed toxins such as Staph toxin, histamine (scombroid), and ciguatoxin, which are heat-stable. That is why preventing toxin formation through temperature control and approved suppliers is essential. Live pathogens like Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Trichinella are, in contrast, destroyed by proper cooking.
