What kind of food should you buy?

  1. Only canned food

  2. Food that requires extensive cooking

  3. Food that does not require much prepping or handling

  4. Only dry food

The correct answer is: Food that does not require much prepping or handling

When deciding what kind of food to buy, it is important to choose food that does not require much prepping or handling. This helps to reduce the risk of contamination and foodborne illnesses. Selecting food that is ready to eat or that requires minimal preparation can help ensure the safety of the food being served to customers. Option A, B, and D are not the best choices because canned food, food that requires extensive cooking, and dry food all have their own handling and preparation requirements that might introduce opportunities for contamination if not handled properly.
