John is preparing lentils for the meal service. he pours the lentils from the package into the pot and adds water and the spices from the recipe. he cooks them for 30 minutes, but later that night there is a complaint from a patron. what physical contaminant might be in the lentils?

The physical containment located in the Lentils may be debris such as rocks and dirt. Since John immediately poured the lentils in the pot and added the water without washing them, although the lentils are shipped in a bag and you may think they are “clean”, they aren’t they haven’t been washed off. Not washing the Lentils can possibly cause you to get sick due to bacteria found in the debris. Although it isn’t really that common to find debris it still is highly possible.
