AN&F Final Review 22-23

What is the maximum amount of time that ready-to-eat TCS food can be stored in a cooler at 41°F (5°C) before it must be sold, served, or thrown out?

• 2 days
• 5 days
• 7 days
• 9 days

Any item not stored in its original container must be

• labeled
• thrown out
• used immediately
• served as quickly as possible

How should food be rotated in storage?

• Items with the earliest use-by dates are discarded before items with later dates.
• Items with the latest use-by dates are used before items with earlier dates.
• Items with the latest use-by dates are discarded before items with earlier dates.
• Items with the earliest use-by dates are used before items with later dates.

What should be done with food that has passed its use-by date?

• It should be discarded.
• It should be used immediately.
• It should only be reheated once.
• It should be cooked to a higher internal temperature.

At what temperature must cold TCS food be stored to keep it safe?

• 41°F (5°C) or lower
• 45°F (7°C) or lower
• 50°F (10°C) or lower
• 65°F (18°C) or lower

At what temperature must hot TCS food be stored to keep it safe?

• 110°F (43°C) or higher
• 120°F (49°C) or higher
• 125°F (52°C) or higher
• 135°F (57°C) or higher

What is the storage order in a cooler based on?

• First In First Out (FIFO)
• The use-by dates of each food
• The risk of cross-contact in the cooler
• The internal cooking temperature for each food

The two biggest hazards when prepping food are cross-contamination and

• cross-contact.
• chemical intoxication.
• physical contamination.
• time-temperature abuse.

Food that has become unsafe should be thrown out unless

• it can be safely reconditioned.
• there are no visible signs of spoilage.
• a foodborne illness is unlikely.
• it has been approved by the regulatory authority.

Which method is a safe way to thaw food?

• As part of the cooking process
• Under running water at 125°F (52°C) or higher
• Submerged in a sink of standing water at 70°F (21°C)
• On the counter at room temperature
