The food safety rules require food workers to focus on which of the following?

  1. Minimizing costs

  2. Maximizing flavor

  3. Preventing contamination of food

  4. Increasing cooking speed

The correct answer is: Preventing contamination of food

Food safety rules are put in place to ensure the safety of food for consumption. In order to do that, it is important for food workers to prevent any contamination of food. Minimizing costs and increasing cooking speed may be factors that workers consider, but they should not be the primary focus since it could compromise the safety of the food. Maximizing flavor is also important, but it should not take precedence over preventing contamination. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
