Parkway Introduction To Culinary And Hospitality Practice Test

Shell eggs receiving temperatures should be taken at a maximum air temperature of

60F 45F 32F 50F

Correct Answer:

45F

Explanation:

Shell eggs should be received at an air temperature of 45°F or lower. This threshold helps slow bacterial growth and protects egg quality from the moment they arrive. If eggs come in warmer than 45°F, they should be cooled to 41°F within 4 hours to stay within safe handling guidelines. So, the highest acceptable receiving temperature is 45°F; readings such as 60°F or 50°F are too warm and out of spec, while 32°F is colder than the limit and still acceptable, but it’s not the threshold being asked about.
