What Microorganisms Need to Grow:
FAT TOM
•Food
– Foodborne microorganisms require
F
nutrients to grow. Specifically
carbohydrates and proteins
– Can be found in TCS food including:
• Meat
• Poultry
• Dairy products
• Eggs
What Microorganisms Need to Grow:
FAT TOM
•Acidity
– Foodborne microorganisms grow
best in food that has a neutral or
slightly acidic pH (7.5 to 4.6)
Acidity
– Most food falls into this range
What Microorganisms Need to Grow:
FAT TOM
•Temperature
– Foodborne microorganisms grow
well at temperatures between 41˚F
and 135˚F (5˚C and 57˚C)
T
What Microorganisms Need to Grow:
FAT TOM
Time
Foodborne microorganisms need T
sufficient time to grow
4 hours or more in The “Danger Zone” =
growth high enough to cause illness with
most foods
What Microorganisms Need to Grow:
FAT TOM
•Oxygen
– Some foodborne microorganisms
O
require oxygen to grow, while
others grow when oxygen is absent
What Microorganisms Need to Grow:
FAT TOM
•Moisture
– Most foodborne microorganisms
require moisture to grow
– The amount of moisture available in Moisture
•Spores
– Can resist heat, allowing them to survive cooking
temperatures
– Can revert back to a form capable of growth
when:
• Food is not stored at the proper temperature
• Food is not held or cooled properly
Major Foodborne Illnesses Caused by
Bacteria
– Salmonellosis
– Shigellosis
– Listeriosis E. Coli bacteria
•Intoxications
– Bacillus cereus Gastroenteritis
– Staphylococcal Gastroenteritis
– Botulism
•Viruses
– Some may survive freezing
– Can be transmitted from:
• Person to person
• People to food
• People to food-contact surfaces
– Usually contaminate food through a
foodhandler’s improper hygiene
– Can contaminate both food and
water supplies
Major Foodborne Illnesses Caused by Viruses
•Parasites
– Are living organisms that need a
host
to survive
– Are small, often microscopic
Helminths are
– Infect many animals and can be potentially common
in fresh food and
transmitted to humans pork worldwide
– Are a hazard to food and water
Major Foodborne Illnesses Caused by Parasites
•Fungi
– Commonly cause food spoilage
and sometimes illness
Fungi
Molds Yeasts
Basic Characteristics of Mold
•Mold
– Spoils food and sometimes causes
illness
– Grows well in acidic food with low
water activity
– Is not destroyed by freezing
– Can produce toxins such as
aflatoxins
Basic Characteristics of Yeast
•Yeast
– Can spoil food rapidly
– May produce a smell or taste of
alcohol as it spoils food
– May appear as a pink discoloration
or slime and may bubble
Contamination, Food Allergens, and
Foodborne Illness
Foodborne Contamiants
•Biological
– Fish toxins
– Shellfish toxins
– Plant and mushroom toxins
•Chemical
– Toxic metal poisoning
– Chemicals and pesticides
•Physical
– Metal shavings from cans, staples
– Fingernails, hair, bandages
Food Allergens
H
Components of a Good Personal Hygiene Program
•Hand Antiseptics
– Must comply with Food and Drug
Administration standards
– Should be used after handwashing
(if used in the establishment)
– Must NEVER be used in place of
handwashing
Hygienic Hand Practices: When to Wash Hands
hair restraint
B Wear clean clothing daily

CLEANING AND SANITIZING
Wiping Cloths
• Wet wiping cloths must be
stored in sanitizer when not
in use
• Sanitizer should be
50-100 ppm chlorine or an
equivalent chemical
• Cleanliness discourages
mice and insects that
carry harmful germs.
• Remove unnecessary
articles from the
premises.
Receiving Food
(BREAK?)
Receiving Food
Food in packages and working containers may be stored less than six inches
(fifteen centimeters) above the floor on case lot handling equipment as specified
under paragraph (II) of rule 3717-1-04.1 of the Administrative Code; and
pressurized beverage containers, cased food in waterproof containers such as
bottles or cans, and milk containers in plastic crates may be stored on a floor that
is clean and not exposed to floor moisture.

IMPROPER CLEANING PRACTICES
OAC 3717-1-04.5
(A) Equipment, food-contact surfaces, nonfood-contact surfaces, and
utensils.
(1) Equipment food-contact surfaces and utensils shall be clean to sight and
touch.
(2) The food-contact surfaces of cooking equipment and pans shall be kept
free of encrusted grease deposits and other soil accumulations.
(3) Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment shall be kept free of an
accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and other debris.
(B) Equipment food-contact surfaces and utensils - cleaning frequency.
(1) Equipment food-contact surfaces and utensils shall be cleaned:
(a) Before each use with a different type of raw animal food such as beef,
fish, lamb, pork, or poultry;
(b) Each time there is a change from working with raw foods to working with
ready-to-eat foods;
(c) Between uses with raw fruits and vegetables and with time/temperature
controlled for safety food;
(d) Before using or storing a food temperature measuring device; and
(e) At any time during the operation when contamination may have occurred.
Sanitation of food contact
surfaces
• All food contact surfaces and utensils used
with time/temperature controlled for safety
(TCS) food must be cleaned every 4 hours if
stored at room temperature
• Items under refrigeration (41° F) must be
cleaned every 24 hours
• Utensils kept in hot food above 135F must be
cleaned every 24 hours.

A “Sell By” date tells the store how long to display the product for sale. You should buy the
product before the date expires
The “Use By Date” is the last day that the manufacturer vouches for the product’s quality.
A “Best if Used By (or Before)” date is recommended for best flavor or quality. It is not a
purchase or safety date.
Cooling
Know your cooling times and
temperatures!
Cool all hot foods from 135°F to 70°F in 2 hours or less
and from 70°F to 41°F in another 4 hours or less
Cooling Methods
Chill
Do NOT cool
food in large
pots or 5 gallon
containers!
WHY?
Reheating Food for Hot
Holding
• Reheat food to 165°F within 2 hours to destroy
microorganisms that may have grown during cooling
process.
• Do not reheat food using steam tables, crock pots, or food
warmers.
• Use Ovens, Stove, or Microwave
• Reheat food rapidly
