Question

A food handler sees that liquid from raw chicken stored above a wrapped container of salad greens has leaked onto the container of greens. What action should the food handler take?

Answer 1

Answer:

The food handler should remove the wrapping and sanitize the outside of the container to eliminate any traces of salmonella present on the container.

Explanation:

• The liquid secreting from raw chicken or meat often contains 'salmonella' which can prove unhealthy if consumed. It can cause diarrhea and other similar diseases.
• Any food with the possibility of the presence of salmonella should be avoided or should be cooked well to eliminate salmonella content before consuming.
