which one of the following sauces is a risk for food poisoning? aaioli btomato csweet chili dsalsa
The sauce that is a risk for food poisoning from your list is aioli (option a).
Why aioli is the risky option
- Traditional aioli is made with raw egg yolks , which can carry Salmonella and other bacteria if the eggs are contaminated or not handled properly.
- Because it is a lowâacid, proteinârich sauce that is often held at room temperature, it can support bacterial growth if not kept cold or made with unsafe practices.
Other sauces (lower risk)
- Tomatoâbased sauces , sweet chili sauce , and salsa are generally more acidic , which helps inhibit many foodâpoisoning bacteria, especially when they are commercially prepared and stored correctly.
- That said, any sauce can become unsafe if it sits too long in the âdanger zoneâ (roughly 5â60 °C / 41â140 °F), is crossâcontaminated, or made with spoiled ingredients.
So for your question, the correct choice is a) aioli.
