What does the T in ALERT mean?

  1. Track

  2. Treat

  3. Test

  4. Terminate

The correct answer is: Treat

The correct answer is B. Treat because in the ALERT method (Assess, Locate, Emergency, Respond, Treat), the T stands for Treat. This mnemonic is used to help food handlers remember the necessary steps to take in case of an emergency situation regarding food safety. Tracking, testing, and terminating are not part of the ALERT method and do not correspond to the steps outlined in this emergency response protocol.
