  2. Apply Your Knowledge: Test Your Food Safety Knowledge • True or False:Bacillus cereus is commonly associated with cereal crops, such as rice 2.True or False: A foodborne intoxication results when a person eats food containing pathogens, which then grow in the intestines and cause illness 3.True or False: Cooking food to the required minimum internal temperature can help avoid listeriosis 4.True or False: A person with shigellosis may experience bloody diarrhea 5.True or False:Highly acidic food typically does not support the growth of foodborne microorganisms 2-2

  3. Microbial Contaminants • Microorganism • Small, living organism • Pathogen • Illness-causing microorganism • Toxin • Poison

  4. Microbial Contaminants • Microorganisms That Can Contaminate Food and Cause Foodborne Illness Bacteria Viruses Parasites Fungi

  5. What Microorganisms Need to Grow: FAT TOM A T F Temperature Food Acidity T M O Moisture Time Oxygen

  6. What Microorganisms Need to Grow: FAT TOM • Food • Foodborne microorganisms require nutrients to grow. Specifically carbohydrates and proteins • These are found in potentially hazardous food including: • Meat • Poultry • Dairy products • Eggs F Food

  7. 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) • Most food falls into this range A Acidity pH Scale Acidic 7.5–4.6 ideal for bacterial growth Neutral Alkaline

  8. 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 Temperature 135°F (57°C) The Temperature Danger Zone 41°F (5°C)

  9. What Microorganisms Need to Grow: FAT TOM • Time • Foodborne microorganisms need sufficient time to grow • 4 hours or more in TDZ=growth high enough to cause illness T Time

  10. What Microorganisms Need to Grow: FAT TOM • Oxygen • Some foodborne microorganisms require oxygen to grow, while others grow when oxygen is absent O Oxygen

  11. What Microorganisms Need to Grow: FAT TOM • Moisture • Most foodborne microorganisms require moisture to grow • The amount of moisture available in food for this growth is called water activity (aw) • Potentially hazardous food typically has an aw of .85 or higher M Moisture

  12. Controlling the Growth of Microorganisms • The two conditions you can control: • Temperature • Refrigerate or freeze food properly • Cook food properly • Time • Minimize time food spends in the temperature danger zone (TDZ)

  13. Apply Your Knowledge: What I Need to Grow! • Which conditions typically support the growth of microorganisms? Food that is high in fat Food that contains protein pH of 9.0 Temperature of 155F (68C) or higher Dry environment 1 2 3 4 5 2-13

  14. Classifying Foodborne Illness • Foodborne Infections • Result when a person eats food containing pathogens, which then grow in the intestines and cause illness • Foodborne Intoxications • Result when a person eats food containing toxins that cause illness • Foodborne Toxin-Mediated Infections • Result when a person eats food containing pathogens, which then produce illness-causing toxins in the intestines

  15. Bacteria That Cause Foodborne Illness • Basic Characteristics • Living, single-celled organism • Can be carried by food, water, soil, animals, humans, or insects • Can reproduce very rapidly under favorable conditions

  16. Bacteria That Cause Foodborne Illness • Basic Characteristics: continued • Some survive freezing • Some change into a different form called sporesto protect themselves • Some spoil food; others cause illness • Some produce toxins that cause illness

  17. Spores • Certain bacteria can change into a different form, called spores, to protect themselves • Spores • Form when nutrients are not available • Are commonly found in soil and contaminate food grown there • Can contaminate meat, poultry, fish, and other food exposed to soil or dust

  18. Spores • 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
