California eFoodHandlers Practice Exam

Food that should not be touched with bare hands is called

1. Cooked food

2. Raw food

3. Organic food

4. Ready to eat

The correct answer is: Ready to eat

Ready-to-eat food refers to food that can be eaten right away without needing any further preparation. This includes foods such as cold sandwiches, fruits, and other packaged foods that do not require cooking or heating. Options A, B, and C are all types of food that can be touched with bare hands, but not necessarily food that should not be touched with bare hands. Cooked food may need to cool down before it can be touched safely, raw food may need to be washed or prepared before eating, and organic food is typically pre-packaged and ready to eat. Therefore, D is the correct answer as it refers specifically to food that should not be touched with bare hands due to its ready-to-eat nature.
