Chapter 3 : Factors affect Food borne Illness (temperature abuse)


What is Temperature abuse?
Time temperature abuse occurs when food is not stored or held at required temperatures, not cooked or reheated properly at high enough temperatures to kill microorganisms, or foods not cooled properly, and any time a food is allowed to remain in a temperature that is favorable to the growth of microorganisms.

Some food requires time and temperature control to make it safe.
It is called TCS ; time and temperature control for safety.
Disease causing pathogens can grow well in TCS food when it is kept at temperature range know as temperature danger zone.
