The food worker can safely thaw a package of bacon in cold water or in the microwave.

Explanation:

A bacon should never be defrosted on a kitchen counter or at a room temperature because this can lead to food poisoning, as their would be a growth of bacteria. The bacon should be placed in the sink with a grate unopened and a cold water run consistently over it for about thirty minutes. The water should be flowing and not soaking the package in the water.

The bacon can also defrost in the microwave but it should not be left unattended to avoid melting of plastic. Bacon can also be left in the fridge but that is a slower way of thawing but very safe.
