What is the suitable temperature for food mixtures with poultry, meat, eggs, etc.?

  1. 70°C for at least 15 seconds

  2. 74°C for at least 15 seconds

  3. 78°C for at least 15 seconds

  4. 82°C for at least 15 seconds

The correct answer is: 74°C for at least 15 seconds

The correct answer is B. 74°C for at least 15 seconds. This temperature is in line with the safe cooking temperature recommended by food safety guidelines for poultry, meat, eggs, and other food mixtures to ensure that harmful bacteria are killed and the food is safe to consume. Options A, C, and D have temperatures that are either too low or too high, which may not effectively eliminate bacteria, risking food safety.
