the three food safety hazards
- biological
- chemical
- physical
(most foodborne illness are caused by Biological Hazards)
FATTOM
elements disease causing bacteria need to multiply
- Food
- Acidity
- Temp
- Time
- Oxygen
- Moisture
Foodborne microorganisms (food)
- need nutrients to reproduce, especially proteins and carbohydrates
- meats
- dairy
- poultry
- eggs
- cooked rices
- cooked pastas
Foodborne microorganisms (Acidity)
- reproduce best between 7.5 – 4.6 ph
- most PHF’s fall into this range
Foodborne microorganisms (Temp)
- grow best at temp between 41F - 135F
- foods exposed to temp outside range not necessarily safe,
some bacteria actually grow in ref temp
Foodborne microorganisms (Time)
- microorganisms need time to grow
- under optimal conditions, double their population every 20min
- PHF’s remain in temp danger zone for 4hrs or longer, microorganisms grow levels high enough to make ill.
Foodborne microorganisms (Oxygen) Aerobic
- bacteria need oxygen to grow,
- Campylobacter is an example of aerobic
Foodborne microorganisms (Oxygen) Anaerobic
- bacteria do not need oxygen to reproduce
- Clostridium botulinum is an example of anaerobic bacteria
Foodborne microorganisms (Oxygen) Facultative anaerobic
- forms of bacteria can survive and reproduce with or without oxygen.
- most foodborne disease causing microorganisms are
- example: Salmonella
Foodborne microorganisms (Moisture)
- most require moisture
- disease causing bacteria can only grow in foods that have an AW(water activity)
- higher than 0.85
Foodborne microorganisms (Control)
- 2 elements most critical and easiest to control are TEMP & TIME
four phases of bacterial growth
- Lag phase
- Log phase
- Stationary phase
- Decline phase
bacterial growth Lag phase
- bacteria exhibit little or no growth
- only lasts a few hours at room temp
bacterial growth Log phase
- bacteria double in # every few min
- once reached, food must be considered unsafe
- food may look good, taste good, smell good, but it is dangerous to customers
- keep food from this place
bacterial growth Stationary phase
- # of new bacteria being produced equals # of organisms that are dying off
- bacteria have used up most of moisture, nutrients, space in food
bacterial growth Decline phase
- bacteria die off quickly bc they lack nutrients, are poisoned by their own toxic wastes
the five CDC risk factors
- improper hot/cold holding temp of PHF
- improper cooking Temp
