Question 1 of 7Food kept in the fridge should be covered.
The right answer: True

Here is why: True. Saudi rules say all stored food must be covered or kept in closed food containers. This keeps out dirt, drips and pests.

Question 2 of 7The dry store is full. Which places are banned for storing extra food boxes? Choose 3.
  1. A clean shelf in another food store
  2. The staff changing room
  3. The cleaning chemical store
  4. A clean, empty food rack in the kitchen
  5. A room where dirty equipment is kept
The right answer: B. The staff changing room; C. The cleaning chemical store; E. A room where dirty equipment is kept

Here is why: Saudi rules ban storing food in changing rooms, staff lockers, toilets, machine rooms, chemical or pesticide stores, and places with dirty equipment. Use only clean food storage areas.

Question 3 of 7You see water dripping from the air conditioner onto food boxes in the store room. What should you do?
  1. Put a bucket under the drip and leave it
  2. Move the food away and report the leak
  3. Wipe the boxes dry and leave them there
  4. Cover the boxes with a cloth
The right answer: B. Move the food away and report the leak

Here is why: Food must be protected from leaking water. Move it, check it for damage, and report the leak so it is repaired. Saudi rules also say do not collect AC water in open containers.

Question 4 of 7The freezer is packed so full that there is no space between the boxes. Why is this a problem?
  1. The food will freeze too fast
  2. The freezer light will stop working
  3. The labels will fall off the boxes
  4. Cold air cannot move around the food
The right answer: D. Cold air cannot move around the food

Here is why: Saudi rules say leave enough space between boxes in a freezer so that air can move. Without moving cold air, some food may not stay at -18 °C or colder.

Question 5 of 7Your restaurant uses charcoal for the grill. Where should the bags of charcoal be kept?
  1. Under the food shelves in the dry store
  2. In a separate area for non-food items
  3. Next to the bread in the kitchen
  4. In the walk-in fridge
The right answer: B. In a separate area for non-food items

Here is why: Saudi rules say charcoal, detergents, disinfectants and pest chemicals are kept in their own set area, away from food handling areas, to avoid contamination.

Question 6 of 7A plumber needs to open a drain cover in the food store room. What must happen to the uncovered food in that room?
  1. Leave it there; the work is short
  2. Spray it with disinfectant
  3. Take all of it out of the room
  4. Push it to the back of the shelves
The right answer: C. Take all of it out of the room

Here is why: Saudi rules say when a drain is opened, all uncovered food must be taken out of that room. Drains carry dirt and germs that can reach the food.

Question 7 of 7You need to put a tray of cooked rice and a box of unwashed raw vegetables with soil on them in the same fridge. How should you place them?
  1. Rice on a shelf above the vegetables
  2. Vegetables on a shelf above the rice
  3. Both side by side on one tray
  4. Vegetables on the fridge floor
The right answer: A. Rice on a shelf above the vegetables

Here is why: Saudi rules say ready-to-eat food goes above raw meat, fish, eggs and unwashed raw vegetables. Soil from vegetables can carry germs onto food that will not be cooked again.
