Type II error

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the definition of type II error, the type II error arises when we wrongfully accept the null hypothesis. It means that when we accept our null hypothesis and null hypothesis is not correct then type II error arises. So according to situation we are accepting the null hypothesis that the food is safe but it is actually not safe. Hence the given situation represents type II error.
