Red Seal Cook

Category - Common Occupational Skills

What is the most likely source of contamination in a kitchen?
  1. Fungi
  2. Chemicals
  3. Parasites
  4. Viruses
Explanation
Answer: B - Chemicals are a much more common contamination issue than foodborne illness in a kitchen. This is mainly due to the fact that so much attention is focused on parasitic, viral or fungal contamination and chemicals can be somewhat overlooked. Residual chemicals left from improperly balanced sanitizer, metal polishes on flatware, and pesticides are all potentially dangerous if not properly used.
