Physical Hazards
glass fragments, metal etc.
Chemical Hazards
pesticide, cleaning agents, prescription medicine
Biological Hazards
bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi
Pathogenic bacteria
no change in appearance, taste or smell
4 phases of bacteria growth
Lag, Log, Stationary and Death
the most rapid growth of bacteria
Log phase
6 factors that affect growth of bacteria
Food, Acidity, Temperature Danger Zone, Time, Oxygen, and Moisture (FATTOM)
Viruses
cannot reproduce in food, rather they use food to get inside the body
Hepatitis A and norovirus
2 viruses that typically contaminate our food supply through fecal contaminated waters or food
Trichinella Spiralis
food-borne parasite founded in under-cooked pork and can be eliminated by cooking pork to 150F for 5 minutes
Anisaki Simplex
