  2. Wiping sweat from your face with your hand
  3. Coming to work clean, in clean clothes
  4. Using perfume instead of a shower
The right answer

C. Coming to work clean, in clean clothes

Here is why: Saudi rules say workers must keep themselves clean and wear clean clothes. Dirty clothes and hands carry germs to food.

  1. Put on new gloves and go back to work
  2. Wash your hands with soap and water
  3. Rinse your hands with cold water only
  4. Wipe your hands with a paper towel only
The right answer

B. Wash your hands with soap and water

Here is why: Saudi rules say to wash your hands after using the toilet. Gloves or water alone do not remove the germs.

  1. Take a pill for the fever and go to work as usual
  2. Go to work and wear a mask for the whole shift
  3. Tell your supervisor and do not work with food
  4. Go to work, but only wash the pots and the dishes
The right answer

C. Tell your supervisor and do not work with food

Here is why: Fever can be a sign of an illness that spreads through food. Saudi rules say a worker with fever must be stopped from food work.

Question 4 of 30Can you see bacteria on food with your eyes?
  1. Yes, they look like small black spots
  2. Yes, but only on old or dirty food
  3. No, you need a microscope to see them
  4. No, they only live inside people
The right answer

C. No, you need a microscope to see them

Here is why: Bacteria are too small to see without a microscope. Food can look clean and still carry them.

Question 5 of 30Which of these is an example of cross-contamination?
  1. Keeping cut salad in a covered box in the fridge
  2. Cooking chicken until the centre reaches 75 °C
  3. Washing your hands before you start work
  4. Cutting cooked meat with the raw-meat knife
The right answer

D. Cutting cooked meat with the raw-meat knife

Here is why: A knife used for raw meat carries germs. If it then cuts cooked meat, the germs move to food that will not be cooked again.

Question 6 of 30You keep cooked food hot in a hot cabinet. What is the lowest safe temperature?
  1. 40 °C
  2. 50 °C
  3. 55 °C
  4. 60 °C
The right answer

Here is why: Hot food must stay at 60 °C or more. Below 60 °C it is in the danger zone, where bacteria grow fast.
