How should the temperature of a shipment of bulk vacuum packages of raw ground beef be taken when it arrives at an operation?

In the thickest part of the package
Between two packages for a reading
At the top of the package
At the bottom of the package

The correct answer is: Between two packages for a reading

Taking the temperature of a shipment of bulk vacuum packages of raw ground beef is crucial for food safety. The correct approach is to measure the temperature between two packages. This method is effective because air trapped within the vacuum-sealed packages can provide misleading temperature readings. By measuring between the packages, you are more likely to obtain an accurate representation of the internal temperature of the meat, ensuring it meets the safe temperature requirements upon arrival. This technique helps to identify any potential temperature abuse during transit and ensures that the product is safe for use in food preparation.
