Pests attract customers to the business
Pests can contaminate food and equipment
Pests are not usually a concern in clean environments

The correct answer is: Pests can contaminate food and equipment

The statement that pests can contaminate food and equipment is true. Pests, such as rodents, insects, and birds, have the potential to introduce harmful pathogens into food and food preparation areas. They can carry diseases and waste materials that can lead to foodborne illnesses. Additionally, their presence can compromise the sanitation of surfaces and food contact items, leading to further risks of contamination. Recognizing the risks associated with pests highlights the importance of implementing effective pest control measures in food establishments to maintain food safety and protect public health. Understanding this can help food handlers and managers ensure that the establishment remains hygienic and safe for customers.
