Question | Answer |
---|---|
The populations most "at risk" of contracting a food-borne illness | (1)Children under the age of 5 (2) the elderly (3)pregnant women (4)chronically ill |
Bacteria | A single-cell, independently repicating microorganism that lack a membrane-bound nucleus..most are harmless, some even beneficial but some are harmful in the form of foodborne illness |
Binary Fission | The process by which bacteria multiply in which one cell divides into two |
Can you tell that a food is infected with harmful bacteria through sight, taste or smell | NO! |
Competitive Exclusion | The process of in which good bacteria is applied to the mewborn animals in effort to prevent infection from pathogens |
Cross-contamination | The process of transferring bacteria from one location to another through poor hygiene and kitchen sanitation practices |
The Danger Zone | The temperature range of 40-140 in which bacteria grow most rapidly |
Emerging Pathogen | A previously unknown, one that was not expected to be a human pathogen or one that has caused a dramatic increase in new cases |
Expiration Date | The last day a food should be eaten or used |
Freshness date | "Best if Used by" The date at which a food will have passed it's quality peak |
Sell by date | The last day a food product is to be sold: allows for short storage time in consumer's refrigerator |
Fungus | Simple plants called saprophytes that lack chlorophyll...come cause disease; yeasts, molds, mildew, smuts, rusts |
Parasite | a plant or animal that lives on or on another plant or animal without making a beneficial contribution to that host |
Pathogen | any microorganism that causes disease |
Persihable | likely to decay |
Pasteurization | the phocess of heating food to kill enzymes and harmful bacteria |
rancidity | spoilage due to the breakdown of fats |
antibiotic resistance | the ability of bactiera to resist the effects of antibiotics |
toxin | a poison that is produced by microorganisms, carried by fish, or released by plants |
virus | non-cellular particle that consists of protein aor nucleic acid which must replicate in another cell...food can be contaminated by a food handler through "shedding' contaminated water, seafood, cross-contamination |
4 "C's' of food safety | COOK - kills bacteria by breaking down cell walls destroyng enzymes needed for survival CHILL - slows metabolism thus slowing growth CLEAN - removes bacteria froms hands andsurfaces COMBAT CROSS CONTAMINATIN (separate) - prevents bacteria from spreadin |
required conditions for bacterial growth | time temperature nutrients Ph above 4.6 moisture |
safe ways to thaw | refrigerator cold water bath microwave DO NOT THAW ON COUNTER |
Examples of safe substitutes for hazardous chemical cleaners include: | vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda |
Botulism | Toxin affects the nervous and respiratory systems; symptoms include double vision, droopy eyelids, trouble speaking, swallowing and breathing. |
Sources of Botulism | improperly canned foods, garlic in oil, vacuum-packaged and tightly wrapped food |
Clostridium Perfringens | Called "the cafeteria germ"...caused by food left for long periods of time in steam tables or at room temperature |
E. coli | causes acute kidney failure |
Listeria food sources | read-to-eat foods like hot dogs, lunceon meats, soft cheeses |
Listeria | May lead to miscarriage in pregnant women |
salmonella | Most closely related to undercooked poultry and eggs |
staphyloccous aureus transmission | mainly person-to-person by improper handling and poor hygiene |
Most common food-borne illness | staphyloccous aureus |
Can lead to Guillain-barre Syndrome | Campylobacter |
Mainly found in nasal passages | Staphyloccous aureus |
Main source is undercooked ground beef | E. coli |
"Critical violations' must be corrected in how many days | 10 |
Will a food infected with bacteria always have a bad odor | no |
The correct temperature to set a freezer | 0 |
Best natural food preservative | salt |
How long can you safely store ground beef in the refrigerator | 1-2 days |
Hepatitis A affects the... | liver |
Heating foods to what temp range kills most bactiera | 160-212 |
Best place to store raw meats in refrigerator | lowest shelf |
a full refrigerator keeps food cooler | false |
seafood collected from warm wters are more likely to contain harmful bacteria | true |
which knife is more likely to cause injury, sharp or dull | dull |
number one tool for cross-contamination | human hand |
wooden cutting boards hold more bacteria than plastic | true |
heat leaftovers to internal temp | 165 |
heat ground beef to internal temp | 160 |
heat poultry to internal temp | 180 |
charcoal and hibachi grills should only be used outdoors because they emit | carbon monoxide |
best treatment for burn | cold running water |
