Why are some foods such as chicken and cooked rice called potentially hazardous foods?
Chicken is a healthy and versatile meat. If it is not cooked enough it is potentially dangerous and can cause harmful effects to your health. Any bacteria in fresh chicken will be killed by thoroughly cooking the chicken. However, there are other types that will remain even after cooking. So make sure that you thoroughly cooked your chicken meals before eating. As for rice, it's considered potentially hazardous because it contains moisture and is a low acid food. See related links for an article explaining potentially hazardous food.

When considering food safety, why is it important to be cautious of potentially hazardous ready-to-eat foods and how should they be used within a safe food handling practice?
It is important to be cautious of potentially hazardous ready-to-eat foods because they can contain harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses if not handled properly. To ensure safe food handling, ready-to-eat foods should be stored at the correct temperature, kept separate from raw foods, and consumed before their expiration date. It is also important to wash hands before handling these foods and to follow proper hygiene practices to prevent contamination.
Can you leave leftovers at room temperature for no more then five hours?
When I think back I can remember my parents leaving food out overnight to thaw for the next day. The ability to eat potentially hazardous food depends entirely on your immunity to bacteria. The more you are sheltered from bacteria the less you can withstand it. Some foods will last longer than others. If you can heat the food to 165 F before eating (all reheated food should be) you could be fine, although the bacteria could have formed toxins that won't be destroyed by cooking. You are much better off not leaving leftovers that are potentially hazardous at room temperature for that long. If you do have any questions regarding food safety, reference HACCP guidlines and the Model Food Code. They're used by health inspectors. They're stricter then you have to go by, but it's a start.
Why is it important to read information about hazardous substances before using them?
It is important to read the information about the hazardous substances before using them because of the risks and dangers that they possess. It is important to read the information about hazardous substances before using them so that you are aware of the risks that they possess.
How long can rice be left out not refridgerated?
Any potentially hazardous food should not sit out for more than two hours. If the ambient temperature is very hot, then it shouldn't sit out for more than one hour.
Does uncooked pasta need to be refrigerated?
Plain cooked pasta should be treated as any other potentially hazardous food. It should be refrigerated within 2 hours or within 1 hours if the ambient temperature is around 90°F. Less time is better.
What precautions should be taken to prevent potentially hazardous foods from remaining in the temperature danger zone?
To prevent potentially hazardous foods from remaining in the temperature danger zone, it is important to store them at safe temperatures below 40F or above 140F. Use a food thermometer to monitor temperatures and avoid leaving food out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Additionally, quickly cool down hot foods before refrigerating them to prevent bacterial growth.
What should you do before a hazardous materials incident?
Prepare for one.
Why is cow milk cleaned before sent to the store for us to drink?
Cows milk is cleaned to kill any undeveloped bacteria in it that could grow into a problem. It is mostly a cautionary measure but being a natural animal product milk is subject to bacteria and there for can potentially carry infection.
