When should you check internal temperatures of food being delivered?

  1. Before preparation

  2. Before delivery

  3. During delivery

  4. When delivering food off-site

The correct answer is: When delivering food off-site

Checking internal temperatures of food during delivery is important to ensure that the food is being delivered at safe temperatures. Before preparation (A) is not necessary as the food has not been cooked yet. Before delivery (B) is not the most important step as the food may change temperature during transportation. During delivery (C) may not be possible as the food is already in transit. Checking internal temperatures when delivering food off-site (D) allows for any necessary adjustments to be made before the food reaches its destination.
