- Identify if the given statement on the image is correct or incorrectarrow_forwardIf high temperatures are most effective at killing microbes, what statement correctly explains why some food products are treated with temperatures below the boiling point of water? Extremely high temperatures would destroy the food's nutritional value. Extremely high temperatures would significantly lower the food's shelf life. Extremely high temperatures can destroy the food's desirable characteristics. Extremely high temperatures promote the growth of some microbes.arrow_forwardRead the following scenario then answer the questions below - be as specific as you can. Bob started preparing for his food cart lunch service at 6 a.m. He pulled the hamburgers from the freezer and put them in a pan near the stove to defrost. He washed his lettuce and tomatoes, sliced them, placed them in pans, and put them in the reach-in. He got out the onions, sliced them, and sautéed them for later service for patty melts, placing the cooked onions next to the stove so that they would be convenient. At about 10 a.m., he marked his burgers on the grill, cooking them to 110°F. He then placed them in a pan with some beef stock in it, so that they would stay warm. At noon, he was open for business. Several customers bought hamburgers that day, and some got patty melts. Two days later, the health inspector pid Bob a visit. Several of his patrons had gotten quite ill. 1. List Bob's four main mistakes. 2. At what temperature should he have kept his products stored before cooking? 3.…arrow_forward
