Why are potato, pasta or chicken salads often involved in foodborne illness outbreaks?
  1. Because these salads contain mayonnaise
  2. Because these salads contain TCS foods
  3. Because these salads are eaten in hot weather
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: B - Potato, pasta or chicken salads are often involved in foodborne illness outbreaks because these salads contain TCS foods. Sliced potato, eggs, cooked chicken and pasta are all TCS foods that need to be cooked and cooled properly before being added to the salad. These salads need to be stored at 41°F or lower to reduce risk of foodborne illness.
