(04.04 MC)
Diana is writing an expository essay on food safety when baking. She located this excerpt about the dangers of cookie dough from the United States Government's Food Safety website:
Flour doesn't look like a raw food, but most flour is raw. That means it hasn't been treated to kill germs that cause food poisoning, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli). These harmful germs can contaminate grain while it's still in the field or flour while it's being made.
Which of the following options paraphrases the excerpt's content?
Did you know that most flour is raw?
Flour may contain harmful germs like E. coli.
These harmful germs can contaminate grain while it's still in the field or flour while it's being made.
Flour is a raw food source, which means it may still contain dangerous germs that can make you sick when consumed. Flour can be affected by germs while it's grown or processed.
