What are the 4 big words we talked about?

• B. Wash, Dry, Serve and Store
• C. Rinse, Cut, Heat and Cool
• D. Clean, Protect, Cook and Cool

Answer: (A)

The main idea is a simple, four-step way to keep food safe from start to finish: Clean, Separate, Cook, Chill. Clean means washing hands, surfaces, and utensils well so germs don’t spread. Separate means keeping raw foods (like chicken or beef) away from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross-contamination. Cook means heating foods to safe internal temperatures so any harmful microbes are killed. Chill means refrigerating promptly to slow down or stop the growth of bacteria. This set is the best answer because it covers the full sequence of safe handling: start with clean conditions, prevent mixing raw and ready-to-eat foods, ensure foods are cooked properly, then refrigerate leftovers quickly. The other options mix in different words or omit the essential separating step, so they don’t align with the standard four guiding practices.
