Food Safety Quiz
Ngaio and Arjun are getting food ready for a picnic. Help them spot risks and choose safe actions. Use New Zealand food-safety guidance: keep cold food at or below 5°C, keep hot food at or above 60°C, and do not leave perishable food in the danger zone between 5°C and 60°C for more than 2 hours.
Check the clues
Use the information above and in each question. For multiple-choice questions, choose one answer. For short answers, explain your thinking.
1.The chilly bin thermometer reads 4°C. Is this a safe temperature for keeping yoghurt and sliced cheese cold?
2.Raw chicken is being carried to the picnic. Where should it go in the chilly bin?
- In a sealed, leak-proof container at the bottom, away from ready-to-eat food
- Loose on top of the fruit
- In the same open container as the salad
3.Arjun cuts raw chicken on a board, then uses the same board for tomato without washing it. What food-safety problem could this cause?
4.A container of cooked rice has been sitting on the picnic table for 3 hours. What is the safest choice?
- Eat it because cooked rice cannot cause food poisoning
- Put it back in the chilly bin and eat it later
- Do not eat it; it has been in the 5°C–60°C danger zone for more than 2 hours
5.Which action is best before making sandwiches?
- Rinse hands quickly with cold water only
- Wash hands with soap and water, scrub all areas, rinse and dry
- Wipe hands on a clean-looking tea towel
6.The label on a tub says “use by 12 May”. It is now 13 May. What should Ngaio do?
7.The cooked sausages are ready to serve. Which temperature keeps hot food safely hot?
- At least 60°C
- About 25°C
- Below 5°C
8.A yoghurt is past its use-by date but smells normal. Is smelling it enough to decide it is safe? Explain briefly.
9.The picnic is delayed. Name two ways to keep perishable food safe until it is eaten.
10.Ngaio has opened a new carton of milk and an older one. Both cartons are within their use-by dates and have been stored safely. Which carton should be used first, and what stock-rotation idea does this show?
