Question

Which of the following foods is not a likely source of food-borne pathogens?
Multiple Choice
Dried apricots
Chicken casserole
Egg salad
Raw ground beef

Answer 1

Dried apricots are not a likely source of food-borne pathogens compared to the other options listed (chicken casserole, egg salad, and raw ground beef), which are more commonly associated with foodborne illness due to their protein content and the potential for improper handling or cooking. Dried fruits have a lower moisture content, making them less conducive to the growth of pathogens.
