They may look and feel like slime, such as the one formed on old fish or meat - ANSWER Toxins Spores - ANSWER bacteria have the ability to change into forms that are very resistant to heat and dry conditions. They are characterized by the formation of a thick "shell" Most common types of bacteria - ANSWER E. Coli., salmonella, clostridium botulinum, E. Coli. - ANSWER Found in human intestines and other warm-blooded animals. It can contaminate food and water. Some types can cause serious diseases such as the term O157:H7. ground beef needs to be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 15 seconds. commonly found in ground beef, raw fruits and vegetables, unpasteurized juices such as apple cider, and even uncommon sources like animals in a petting zoo. 90 percent of E.

Clostridium Botulinum - ANSWER can form spores and grow without oxygen, making it a type of anaerobic bacteria. It can affect the central nervous system. The toxin produced by the botulinum bacteria can produce severe paralysis and even death. Some additional symptoms of botulism are: dizziness, headache, and dryness in the nose and throat because of respiratory failure. It is found in the soil, lakes, human intestines, fish, swollen cans, vacuum packed foods, and smoked meats. It is the most deadly foodborne bacteria. MAP - ANSWER Modified atmosphere packaging. a process whereby foods are placed in containers and air is removed from the package. foods undergo this process because it extends the shelf life and helps preserve quality. they have to be kept frozen or at 41 degrees or less in the refrigerator. discard any vacuum packed foods that have signs of "bulging."

Staphylococcus Aureus - ANSWER most common cause of foodborne illness. It is found on the skin, nose, and mouth of 50 to 70 percent of all people. The bacteria can also be found on skin irritations such as boils, pimples, throat infections, and infected cuts and burns. Once on food, they multiply and produce toxins. Heat can not kill toxins produced by this bacteria. It causes foodborne intoxication Bacillus cereus - ANSWER found in soil where vegetables and grains are grown.

The cause is not the fish, but what the fish eats. scombroid poisoning - ANSWER is the most common reported cause of seafood illness. It comes from histamine toxins which require antihistamines for treatment. toxins are produced when fish like mahi mahi begin to spoil from being time and temperature abused. It is mainly associated with time and temperature abuse chemical contamination - ANSWER is caused when substances such as cleaning compounds, acids, detergents, soaps, chemicals, and pesticides get into food. it can occur in nature physical contamination - ANSWER is caused when hair, glass, metal shavings, broken objects, rocks, etc gets into food. In other words, if you can see it, then it can be possible physical contamination mold - ANSWER can cause allergic reactions and illness of a respiratory nature in people from high risk populations groups. It can be killed by heating foods to 140 degrees for 10 minutes, but it will not destroy their toxins if they have been produced, and one may still experience illness. freezing prevents growth of molds, but has no effect on the mold spores that are already present in the food. yeasts - ANSWER yeasts can be killed by heating foods to 136 degrees for 15 minutes. it can be controlled by proper cleaning and sanitizing prepared foods such as potato salad, soups, pasta salads, etc. can be stored in the refrigerator at 41 degrees or below for how many maximum days? - ANSWER 7 days Prepared foods such as potato salad, soups, pasta salads, etc. can be stored in the refrigerator at what temperature and for how many days? - ANSWER at 41 degrees and for a maximum of 7 days. thermometers - ANSWER never use glass or mercury filled thermometers. they must be 5 inches in length and be numerical and accurate within plus or minus 2 degrees. they must measure between 0 and 220 degrees What is the TDZ - ANSWER temperature danger zone?
