Question: 1 / 400

When ice is used to keep foods cold, the food container must be in ice up to the level to the food. What is the best way to know if the food is staying cold enough?

Guess based on the amount of ice

Check the water temperature

Use a thermometer and check the temperature of the food

When using ice to keep foods cold, it is important to monitor the temperature of the food to ensure it remains at a safe temperature to prevent bacterial growth. Option A is incorrect because guessing based on the amount of ice does not accurately reflect the temperature of the food. Option B is incorrect because the water temperature may not accurately reflect the temperature of the food. Option D is incorrect because signs of spoilage may not appear until the food is already unsafe to eat. Using a thermometer to directly measure the temperature of the food is the best and most accurate way to know if it is staying cold enough. This allows for proper monitoring and adjusting of the temperature as needed to keep the food safe.
