Afew years ago a foodborne illness outbreak was reported by a national restaurant chain. after dozens of people were infected, authorities determined that employees of the restaurant had used the same knife to cut raw meat products as they did for produce items such as lettuce. which of the following terms most likely describes the employees' neglect that led to the patrons of the restaurant becoming ill? a. contaminationb. cross-contaminationc. hazard analysis critical control pointsd. inappropriate monitoring of food temperatures

B. Cross contamination

Explanation:

The meat packaging material is most likely to have E-coli contamination and if the knife is not properly washed before cutting it may have germs like campylobacter. Hence, it is highly recommended to wash utensils after food production and raw meat packaging shall be immediately thrown into the dustbin before cutting meat with a clean knife. In the given scenario, E-coli contamination from meat packaging into the knife and then to all food products has resulted into an outbreak of food borne illness.

this disease is :

* endemic (present in a defined area that is a village)

* a bacterial infection (treated with antibiotic)

* communicable by contact (by the hands)

manu-porterage is the most common mode of transmission, it transmits germs from one individual to another via the hands. this concerns infections of exogenous origin.

endemic disease, or endemic disease, refers to a disease that is constantly present in a given population, often tied to a specific geographic origin, as opposed to a pandemic that is not a sporadic disease.

antibiotics are molecules that have the property of killing (bactericidal) or limiting the spread (bacteriostatic) of bacteria.

it is definitely false.
