Where should ground fish be stored in a cooler?

1. Above cooked foods

2. Below pork roasts

3. On the top shelf

4. With dairy products

The correct answer is: Below pork roasts

The correct location for storing ground fish in a cooler is below pork roasts. This is critical for food safety and preventing cross-contamination. Ground fish is particularly susceptible to bacteria due to its texture and the fact that it can spoil quickly. Storing it underneath pork roasts ensures that any juices or drippings from the pork do not contaminate the ground fish, which could lead to foodborne illnesses. Keeping fish below other meats helps maintain the integrity and safety of all the products stored in the cooler, as it minimizes the risk of contamination from raw meat products.
