How do you prevent time-temperature abuse?

  1. Only cooking food thoroughly

  2. Keeping food covered

  3. Regularly record temperatures and the times they are taken

  4. Freezing all perishable items

The correct answer is: Regularly record temperatures and the times they are taken

Regularly recording temperatures and the times they are taken is the correct way to prevent time-temperature abuse. This practice helps ensure that food is being stored and served at safe temperatures. By keeping a log of temperature readings and the times they were taken, food handlers can detect any inconsistencies or deviations that may indicate potential time-temperature abuse. This proactive approach allows for quick corrective actions to be taken to prevent foodborne illnesses.
