Because they are living organisms, which one of the following methods would be both effective and safe to reduce pathogenic contaminants in food?

To avoid pathogenic contamination (living microorganism) in the food, an individual should cook food at the proper temperature.

Further Explanation:

Pathogens are referred to as microorganisms which cannot easily be visualized by the naked eyes. Pathogens are present everywhere, inside and outside the body. These pathogens can cause severe illness in the body. They are mainly present in food and water. Pathogens are mainly divided into three types, named as parasite, bacteria, and virus.

They pass to one individual to others by contaminated food or water. These are the living organism that cannot be killed easily. They can affect the host cell by reproducing their DNA inside the host cell. These living microorganisms can kill by heat. They degrade the structure of viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Mainly pathogens can grow at 41 to 135 and also refer to as growth zone of pathogens. At very low temperature, the growth of pathogens decrease and at very high temperature, the structure of DNA is degraded. Thus, to avoid pathogenic contamination in the food, an individual should cook food at the proper temperature.
