Question

Which one of the following is not a principle of food hygiene?

• A. Choosing food ingredients carefully.
• B. Preventing bacteria from entering food.
• C. Make food appealing.
• D. Inhibition of bacterial growth and development.

Hint:

Food hygiene is about safety, not presentation—focus on cleanliness, storage, and bacterial control.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Food hygiene principles focus on ensuring the safety and cleanliness of food to prevent contamination and foodborne illnesses. These principles include:

• Selecting safe and quality ingredients.
• Preventing bacterial entry and growth.
• Proper handling, cooking, and storage of food.

While making food appealing is important from a culinary or marketing perspective, it is not directly related to food hygiene. Hence, option (C) is not a principle of food hygiene.
