Question

what causes large ice crystals to form on frozen food and its packaging?
o a cross contact
o b time temperature abuse
o c incorrect cleaning and sanitizing
o d cross contamination

Explanation:

Time - temperature abuse causes large ice crystals to form on frozen food and its packaging. When frozen food is repeatedly thawed and refrozen (time - temperature abuse), water within the food changes state multiple times. This leads to the growth of large ice crystals. Cross - contact, incorrect cleaning and sanitizing, and cross - contamination are related to food safety in terms of microbial transfer or hygiene, not ice crystal formation.

Answer:

B. Time temperature abuse
