What is the definition of the term "danger zone" in relation to food hygiene?
The area of a restaurant where the temperature is too high for food storage.
A warning sign indicating potential food contamination.
The temperature range in which bacteria can grow rapidly in food.
A location in the kitchen where accidents are more likely to occur.
What is meant by the term "high risk food" in food hygiene?
Foods that are more likely to cause allergic reactions.
Foods that are expensive and difficult to prepare.
Foods that contain a high amount of artificial additives.

What is the process of binary fission in bacteria?
Bacteria divide into two every ten minutes.
Bacteria release spores to reproduce.

At what temperature must hot food be stored?
Above 52°C.
Above 63°C.
Above 82°C.
Above 100°C.
Why does bacteria not grow in a refrigerator set at a temperature of 1°C to 4°C (Scotland) or 1°C to 5°C (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) ?
Refrigerators have a special antibacterial coating.
The low temperature slows down bacterial growth making them sleepy.
Bacteria cannot survive in cold environments.
Bacteria become dormant in a refrigerator.
Will bacteria grow in frozen food stored at -18°C?
Yes, bacteria can still grow in frozen food
No, freezing kills all bacteria
Only certain types of bacteria can grow in frozen food.
No, the temperature is too low for any bacterial growth. They are dormant (asleep) at freezer temperatures.
