Which of these is NOT an example of keeping food safe?

  1. Regularly checking food temperatures

  2. Storing chemicals away from food preparation areas

  3. Wearing hair restraints in the kitchen

  4. When you are sick, wear gloves to make sure you do not contaminate food

The correct answer is: When you are sick, wear gloves to make sure you do not contaminate food

Regularly checking food temperatures, storing chemicals away from food preparation areas, and wearing hair restraints in the kitchen are all examples of keeping food safe. However, wearing gloves when you are sick can actually increase the risk of contamination as gloves can harbor bacteria and may not be changed as frequently as washing bare hands. It is important to wash your hands frequently when preparing food, especially when sick, to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria.
