Food borne Illness Outbreak
Incident in which two or more people get the same illness after eating the same food
Food borne Illness
Disease carried and transmitted to people by food
Warranty of Sale
Rules of how food must be handled
Reasonable Care Defense
Shows establishment did everything reasonably expected to keep food safe.
Immune system
Body’s defense system against illness
Time Temperature Abused
Food allowed to remain too long at temperatures that favor growth of food borne microorganisms
Cross-contamination
Microorganisms are transferred from one surface to another
Personal Hygeine
Failing to wash hands, cough or sneeze on food, touch or scratch wounds, come to work sick
Microorganisms
Small, living organisms that can be easily seen in a microscope
Pathogens
Microorganisms that cause illnesses
Toxins
Poisons in a pathogen that leads to food borne illness
Temperature Danger Zone
Range between 41-135 degrees F that pathogens grow/ grow best between 70degF- 125degF
Viruses
Can survive refrigeration and freezer temps, cannot grow in food only in human intestines, contaminate food and water, can transmit from person to person and food contact surfaces.
Bacteria
Grow rapidly, change onto spores to protect themselves, produce toxins as they grow and die, cooking my not kill them.
Parasites
Only grow in a host, found in feces of animals and people, contaminate food and water.
Fungi
2 types:
Mold- spoil food, produce toxins, grow well in acidic food, cooler temps slow growth but don’t kill them.
Yeast- spoil food and smell of alcohol, grow well in acidic food.
Biological toxins
Produced by pathogens or plant or animal that was eaten (same with mushroom and plant toxins)
Populations that are high risk
Infants and children
Pregnant women
Elderly people
Others with compromised immune systems
3 potential hazards to food safety
Biological
Chemical
Physical
How does food become unsafe
Purchasing from unsafe sources Failing to cook adequately Holding food at incorrect temperatures Using contaminated equipment Poor personal hygiene
Name three reasons food has been time temperature abused
Not held or stored at required temperatures
Not cooled or reheated to temps that kill microorganisms
Not cooled properly
How does food get cross contamination
Contaminated ingredients added to food that receives further cooking
Contaminated food touches/drips on RTE
Food handler touches foods- contaminated and RTE
RTE touches contaminated surfaces
Contaminated cleaning towels
How to ensure food safety
Control time and temperature Prevent cross contamination Practice personal hygiene Purchase from reputable supplier Cleaning and sanitizing properly

Prevented with personal hygiene, contracted through shellfish contaminated water and ready to eat food

Prevented with good hygiene, comes from ready to eat and shellfish contaminated water

From bacteria in soil, comes from meat, milk, cooked veggies

From soil, water, plants. Raw meat, unpasturized dairy, RTE
