Food Safety and Safe Temperatures – MCQ
Multiple Choice Questions
  1. 1. You thawed a pack of chicken thighs in a sink of cold water, then changed your plans. What can you do with them?

    • Cook them first, then the cooked chicken can go in the freezer
    • Put them straight back in the freezer raw, exactly as they are
    • Keep them raw in the fridge for up to a week until you need them
    • Leave them in the water on the counter until you cook tomorrow
  2. 2. It's 95°F (35°C) at a picnic. How long can the potato salad sit out before it is unsafe?

    • 1 hour
    • 2 hours
    • 3 hours
    • 4 hours
  3. 3. You want to brush the marinade the raw chicken sat in onto the chicken once it is cooked. Is that safe?

    • Only if you boil the used marinade first, or set some aside before it touched raw meat
    • Yes, because the acid in the marinade has already killed the raw chicken's bacteria
    • Yes, as long as the marinade sat in the fridge rather than out on the counter
    • Yes, because the hot cooked chicken will heat the marinade enough to make it safe
