The function of a food technologist in a large marketing chain of food stores is to ensure that all foodstuffs which are offered for sale in the various retail outlets meet certain standard criteria for nonperishability, freshness, and fitness for human consumption.
It is the technologist's job to visit the premises of suppliers and food producers (factory or farm), inspect the facilities and report thereon. His responsibility also includes receiving new products from local and foreign suppliers and performing exhaustive quality control testing on them. Finally, he should carry out surprise spot-checks on goods held in the marketing chain's own warehouses and store.
What conclusion can best be drawn from the preceding paragraph?
(A) A university degree in food technology is a necessary and sufficient condition for becoming a food technologist.
(B) Imported products, as well as home-produced goods, must be rigorously tested.
(C) The food technologist stands between the unhygienic producer and the unsuspecting consumer.
(D) Home-produced foodstuffs are safer to eat than goods imported from abroad because they are subject to more regular and closer inspection procedures.
(E) Random checking of the quality of goods stored on the shelves in a food store is the best way of ensuring that foodstuffs of an inferior quality are not purchased by the general public.

Inclined more towards B . How C is correct when there is no mention on unhygienic producer ?

As per the prompt, The Food Technologist (FT) is responsible for the following -
1. visit -> inspect -> report about parameters of non perishability, freshness, and fitness for human consumption from the premises of suppliers and food producers
2. Receive -> perform exhaustive quality control testing for given parameters when receiving product from local and foreign suppliers
3. Carry out surprise checks on the marketing chain's warehouses and stores
Now we need to know the conclusion. Conclusion can only be derived from the points mentioned in the passage and not from from our assumptions.
(According to me, if the guy takes one more responsibility he should be named CEO. But this is an assumption from my side, and cannot be a conclusion as per prompt
)Moving forward, now looking at the options according to our notes (or FT's job description
)Bunuel
Out of scope. Where he is getting his degree or How much he has studied to reach this position is all out of scope.Hence Incorrect
Bunuel
Now this is already stated in the paragraph. Check out point 2 from the notes. FT is already checking imported as well local products. So not a conclusion but a restatement of an already mentioned point. Hence Incorrect
Bunuel
So let's see this. Producers he is checking. That we know from our notes (Point 1). Unsuspecting consumers come to the marketing chain's store to enjoy the food and upto stores everything is being checked by him. So in a way yes, he is standing between unhygenic producer and unsuspecting consumer. Seems the right option to tick for now. But lets keep it aside. just to check if any better option
Bunuel
From our notes we know that FT is providing top quality stuff. So this point becomes irrelevant. Hence incorrect
Bunuel
We don't know what is the best way and we should not be concerned about it even. Not related to our prompt. Hence incorrect
Hence C
