  7. Biological Contaminants include: • Bacteria • Viruses • Parasites • Fungi

  8. Bacteria Growth Variables FAT • Food • Acidity • Time TOM • Temperature • Oxygen • Moisture

  9. Temperature Danger Zone • The 2nd T in FAT TOM stands for Temperature • The temperature danger zone is the temperature between 41ºF (5ºC) and 135ºF (57ºC). Disease-causing bacteria grow rapidly in this range, especially between 70ºF (21ºC) and 135ºF (57ºC). If conditions are right, bacteria can double their numbers every 10 to 20 minutes.

  10. What is a Parasite? • Parasites are plants or animals that live on or in another plant or animal – the host – to survive. • Parasites range in size from tiny, single-celled organisms to worms visible to the naked eye. • Parasites may be transmitted through consumption of contaminated food and water.

  11. Types of Fungi Molds • Threadlike organisms that produce spores • Can cause allergic reactions • Can survive freezing and cooking • Some produce dangerous toxins Yeasts • Spoil food quickly • Require oxygen to grow • Destroyed by cooking • Can appear pink in color and may be slimy or may bubble
