Wendys Training Practice Test

Which is an example of physical contamination?

1. Parasites in wild game

2. Food held between 70 F and 125 F

3. Bones in fish

4. Salmonella Typhi in beverages

The correct answer is: Bones in fish

Physical contamination refers to foreign objects such as hair, dirt, insects, or packaging materials accidentally ending up in food. In this case, "Bones in fish" is the correct answer as it represents a form of physical contamination where a non-edible part of the food (the bones) has made its way into the dish, potentially causing harm if ingested. The other options do not represent physical contamination. Parasites in wild game and Salmonella Typhi in beverages refer to biological contamination which involves harmful microorganisms. Food held between 70 F and 125 F relates to temperature control and the danger zone for food safety.
