What are the three different sanitizers mentioned?

  1. Chlorine, iodine, and quarts

  2. Bleach, soap, and water

  3. Alcohol, peroxide, and vinegar

  4. Ammonia, chlorine, and iodine

The correct answer is: Chlorine, iodine, and quarts

The correct answer is A: Chlorine, iodine, and quarts. Chlorine, iodine, and quats (quaternary ammonium compounds) are the three types of sanitizers mentioned in the ServSafe guidelines for effectively sanitizing surfaces in a food establishment. These sanitizers are widely used in the food industry for their effectiveness in killing harmful bacteria and ensuring a safe environment for food preparation. Option B (Bleach, soap, and water) includes bleach, which is a type of sanitizer, but soap and water are not sanitizers; they are used for cleaning purposes. Option C (Alcohol, peroxide, and vinegar) includes alcohol, which is a common sanitizer, but peroxide and vinegar are not listed as standard sanitizers in the ServSafe guidelines. Option D (Ammonia, chlorine, and iodine) contains two sanitizers mentioned in the correct answer (chlorine and iodine) but includes ammonia, which is not typically used as a sanitizer in food establishments.
