What are the two items that will not be considered spoiled if they display conditions of a sweller, springer or flipper?

The correct answer is that coffee and molasses will not be considered spoiled even if they display conditions such as being a sweller, springer, or flipper. In food preservation, these conditions typically indicate some alteration in the packaging or texture rather than actual spoilage.

Coffee, particularly in its whole bean form, is known for its low moisture content, making it resistant to microbial growth even if physical changes occur in the packaging. Similarly, molasses has a high sugar content, giving it preservative qualities that inhibit spoilage. Both items have a long shelf life and maintain quality under less-than-ideal conditions, which is a critical consideration in food storage.

In contrast, rice and sugar are typically stable items but can become physically altered without being spoiled. However, they can be affected by moisture and pests over time. Vegetables and fruits, on the other hand, are more perishable and susceptible to spoilage signs that indicate they may no longer be safe to consume. Chocolate, while it has some resilience to spoilage, can undergo texture changes that might not indicate actual spoilage but still affect its quality. Honey, being a near-imperishable substance due to its low moisture and high acidity, is less commonly associated with descriptors like sw
