Multiple choice question.

Pork loin

Chicken leg

Steak

Hamburger

Answer 1

Among the options provided, **Hamburger** is highly perishable due to the concentration of pathogens both on the outside and inside of the ground meat. When meat is ground, bacteria from the surface can be mixed throughout the product, increasing the risk of contamination. Therefore, hamburger is more susceptible to spoilage and foodborne illness compared to the other types of meat listed.
