What kind of program should you use to prevent deliberate contamination?

The Food Defense Program: ALERT

What government agencies take leading roles is the prevention of foodborne illness in the United States?

What should you do if there is a backup of sewage in the operation?

The affected area should be closed right away. The probelem must be corrected and cleaned, and if the backup is a risk to the safety of food then service must be stopped.

FAT TOM

The conditions that promote rapid growth of bacteria: Food - need nutrients to survive, like the ones in TCS food Acidity - prefer foods with little or no acid (Ph of 7 or below) Temperature - grows fastest in temperature danger zone between 41 degrees F and 135 degrees F (most rapidly above 70 degrees) Time - the more time in the danger zone, the more growth of bacteria to unsafe levels Oxygen - some bacteria grows well in food with high levels of moisture. This means food with higher AW (water activity levels). We can decrease potential for bacteria growth by controlling temperature of food, and time of food in temperature danger zone.
