Assessments such as written and practical exams are so done to check the learning outcomes of the students.
Cooking food to the required minimun internal temperature is the only way to kill germs that cause food poisoning.
Preparing cold fold too early or storing it in Temperature Danger Zone (room temperature between 5 to 65 celsius) allows multiplication of bacteria that causes food poisoning.
