Question

question 4. what is an example of time and temperature abuse?
a. sneezing and coughing on food
b. letting raw meat touch ready - to - eat food
c. thawing frozen meat on the counter overnight
d. none of the above.

Explanation:

Time - temperature abuse occurs when food is kept in the danger zone (40°F - 140°F or 4°C - 60°C) for too long. Thawing frozen meat on the counter overnight exposes it to the danger - zone temperatures for an extended period. Sneezing on food is a contamination by pathogens, and raw meat touching ready - to - eat food is cross - contamination.

Answer:

C. Thawing frozen meat on the counter overnight
