Question

facts and requirements
opal is making food according to the guidelines. she is deciding whether or not rg low - inclusion ground beef can be used.
in each of the following problems, you will be given the same facts about rg low - inclusion ground beef, along with requirements needed for a decision. for each problem, see if the facts meet the requirements.
here are some facts about the rg low - inclusion ground beef:

• rg low - inclusion is from a reg - 27 state.
• rg low - inclusion has inclusion fillings.
• rg low - inclusion has a compensated thermal signature of 345.
• rg low - inclusion is preserved with prestol - 22.
• rg low - inclusion has an adjusted fat ratio of 45.
• rg low - inclusion has an adjusted uv absorbance of 300.

ground beef will meet the corporate meat specifications if the ground beef meets none of the following requirements:

• the frick weight ratio of the ground beef is 1
• the ground beef has no inclusion fillings
• the ground beef is preserved with bha/bht

will rg low - inclusion ground beef meet the corporate meat specifications?
○ yes
○ no
○ not enough information
here are some facts about the rg low - inclusion ground beef:

• rg low - inclusion is from a reg - 27 state.
• rg low - inclusion has inclusion fillings.
• rg low - inclusion has a compensated thermal signature of 345.
• rg low - inclusion is preserved with prestol - 22.
• rg low - inclusion has an adjusted fat ratio of 45.
• rg low - inclusion has an adjusted uv absorbance of 300.

the ground beef will be resistant to e. coli o157 - h7 if it meets the following requirements:

• the ground beef has an additive made of carageenan

or

• the ground beef has a compensated thermal signature less than or equal to 325 and the ground beef is from a reg - 27 state

will the rg low - inclusion ground beef be resistant to e. coli o157 - h7?
○ yes
○ no
○ not enough information

Explanation:

For the first question: The corporate specs require the ground beef meets NONE of the three listed requirements. The RG beef has inclusion fillings (fails the "no inclusion fillings" requirement check, meaning it meets one of the excluded criteria). Thus it does NOT meet the corporate specs.
For the second question: To be resistant to E. coli O157-H7, the beef needs either a carageenan additive, OR a thermal signature ≤325 plus being from a Reg-27 state. The RG beef has a thermal signature of 345 (which is >325) and no mention of carageenan, so it does not meet either condition.

Answer:

1. Will RG low-inclusion ground beef meet the corporate meat specifications?

No

1. Will the RG low-inclusion ground beef be resistant to E. coli O157-H7?

No
