Identify 3 of the conditions needed by bacteria to multiply

• Moisture

• Acidic pH

• Food Source - usually protein or starch

• Warmth

What is the safe temperature for the fridge?

• -18 Centigrade

• 0-5 Centigrade

• 5-63 Centigrade

• 75 Centigrade

What sorts of foods should you store in the fridge?

• Milk

• Cooked pasta

• Raw chicken

• All of the above

What is the term used for the way bacteria multiply?

• Binary fusion

• biological division

• Binary fission

• binary fishing

What would describe high risk foods?

• Usually high in protein and moisture

• Dried foods

• Tinned products

What do you call the temperature range in which bacteria multiply most rapidly?

• The Ozone

What can you do to reduce the risk of bacterial growth?

• Store high risk foods in the fridge

• Cook and reheat foods to a core temperature of 75 degrees Centigrade

• Use high risk foods by their use by date

• All of the above

What happens to bacteria when you store food in the freezer (-18^oC)

• They are destroyed

• They become dormant and do not multiply

• They multiply rapidly

Why do you need to cook foods to a core temperature of 75^oC?

• To destroy harmful bacteria

• To encourage bacteria to multiply

• Because it tastes better when it is warm
