What does "anticipate" mean? To expect something To avoid something To prevent something All of the above When you anticipate something, you're expecting it, or you imagine that it could happen. Here's an example of anticipating and planning for a risk: The temperature of food in hot-holding must be checked at least every four hours. And if the temperature is below 135°F, the food must be thrown out. But if you anticipate this risk and check the temperature every two hours instead of every four hours, there will still be time for corrective action. You can reheat the food and it will be safe to eat. 10 / 10 Which is an example of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)?
