Q1. What does the acronym HACCP stand for?
  • A.  Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
  • B.  Hygiene Assessment and Contamination Control Plan
  • C.  Health and Compliance Certification Process
  • D.  Hazard Avoidance and Cleaning Control Procedure
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, a systematic preventive approach to food safety used to identify and control physical, chemical and biological hazards. The other options are invented phrases that sound plausible but are not the recognised system referenced in food law and Codex Alimentarius guidance.
Q2. Which of the following bacteria is capable of forming heat-resistant spores that can survive normal cooking temperatures?
  • A.  Clostridium perfringens
  • B.  Campylobacter jejuni
  • C.  Salmonella enteritidis
  • D.  Listeria monocytogenes
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A. Clostridium perfringens
Clostridium perfringens produces spores that can survive cooking and then germinate as food cools slowly, particularly in large batches of meat or gravy left at room temperature. Campylobacter, Salmonella and Listeria are vegetative bacteria without heat-resistant spores and are destroyed by normal cooking temperatures.
Q3. A supervisor finds a fridge holding ready-to-eat food at 10°C with no obvious cause. What is the correct first step?
  • A.  Turn the thermostat down and continue using the fridge as normal
  • B.  Wait 30 minutes to see if the temperature falls on its own
  • C.  Move all the food to an unrefrigerated display counter until the fridge is fixed
  • D.  Take internal food temperatures, isolate any food that has been above 8°C for more than two hours, and investigate the fault
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D. Take internal food temperatures, isolate any food that has been above 8°C for more than two hours, and investigate the fault
Whether the food is still usable depends on the actual time and temperature it experienced, so the supervisor must probe the food and apply the two-hour/four-hour rule rather than assume. Simply adjusting the thermostat or waiting risks leaving unsafe food in use, and moving food to uncontrolled ambient conditions would make the problem worse.
