Why should a dietitian know safe food storage?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To prevent food spoilage and contamination
Safe storage uses appropriate temperature control, clean covered containers, suitable separation, and stock rotation. These measures slow microbial growth, reduce cross-contamination, preserve quality, and protect patients, especially those who are medically vulnerable. Storage does not artificially add nutrients or exist mainly to change colour or cost. Thus, option A is correct.
