| What do microorganisms need to grow | food,acidity,temperature,time,oxygen,moisture |
| what are potentially hazardous food | meat,poultry, dairy products, eggs |
| What acidic ph does foodborne microorganism grow best in | 7.5-4.6 |
| What temperatures do foodborne microorganisms grow well at | 41- 135 F or 5- 57 C degrees |
| how many hours do foodborne microorganisms need to grow in TDZ | 4 hours or more |
| What is TDZ | Temperature danger zone |
| Do foodborne illnesses need oxygen | some do and some dont |
| How much water activity in food do you need for there to be microorganisms growth | .85 or higher |
| What are the two conditiond you can control | temperature and time |
| how can you control temperature | refrigerate or freeze food properly and cook food properly |
| how do you control time | minimize time food spends in the temperature danger zone |
| what is a foodborne infection | result when a person eats food containing pathogens which then grow in the intestines and cause illness |
| how can you get foodborne intoxications | results when a person eats food containing toxins that cause illness |
| what is foodborne toxin-mediated infections and how is it caused | this results when a person eats food containing pathogens, which then produce illness causing toxins in the intestines |
| What are some basic characteristics of a bacteria that causes foodborne illnesses | living single celled organism,can be carried by food water soil animal human or insects, can reproduce very rapidly under favorable conditions. |
| What do characteristics do some bacteria have | survive freezing,change into a different form called spores to protect themselves, spoil food and cause illness, produce toxins that cause illness |
| What are spores and how do they form | they can form when nutrients are not available, they are commonly found in soil and contaminate food grown there, |
| what can spores contaminate | meat,poultry,fish, and other food exposed to soil or dust |
| what can spores resist | heat allowing them to survive cooking temperature |
| When can spores revert back to forms capable of growth | when food is not stored at the proper temperature, and if it is not held or cooled properly |
| what foods are associated with the illness campylobacteriosis | poultry, and water contaminated with the bacteria |
