Which of the following statements about germs is FALSE?

  1. Bacteria will grow slowly at temperatures between 41F and above 135F degrees

  2. Germs can be completely eliminated with proper cooking

  3. Cross-contamination is a primary way germs spread

  4. Hand washing is an effective way to prevent germ spread

The correct answer is: Bacteria will grow slowly at temperatures between 41F and above 135F degrees

Bacteria will actually grow most rapidly in temperatures between 41F and 135F degrees, making this statement false. Germs cannot be completely eliminated with proper cooking, as some bacteria can survive the cooking process. Cross-contamination is a primary way germs spread, as they can be transferred from one surface to another. However, hand washing is still an effective way to prevent the spread of germs. While it may not eliminate all germs, it can greatly reduce the number on your hands.
