ServSafe / Food Safety Practice Test

Answer - D - All of the above. While food safety risks are of concern to all people, children, the elderly, as well as people with deficient immune systems have a particular risk for food borne illness. This is due to the fragile nature of their immune systems. While adults might get sick from certain food borne pathogens (or even worse, die), children under the age of six, the elderly, and the immunodeficient tend to become sick quicker and the level of sickness is usually much more sever. For these reasons, it is important to be specifically careful when serving the three listed groups of people.
