When Chef Sam removes ground beef from his restaurant’s freezer, where should he store it to thaw for use tomorrow?
  1. On the food preparation table
  2. Any shelf in the refrigerator is acceptable.
  3. On the lowest shelf of the refrigerator
  4. Location while thawing doesn’t matter as long as the meat is cooked properly.
Explanation
Answer: C- When Chef Sam removes ground beef from his restaurant’s freezer, he should place it on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator to thaw for use tomorrow. Raw or cooked meat needs to be maintained at a temperature below 40 degrees to prevent the growth of bacteria. Keeping the thawing meat on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator will help prevent cross contamination if the package containing the meat leaks.
