Why is keeping food at the correct temperature necessary?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it helps control harmful microorganisms and improves food safety
Temperature control is an important part of food safety. Adequate cooking can destroy many harmful microorganisms, while safe hot holding, rapid cooling, and refrigeration slow their multiplication. Incorrect temperatures may allow bacteria to grow and produce a food-borne hazard. Colour, weight, or nutrient increase does not reliably indicate safety, so option B is correct.
