Cross Contamination
Cross contamination involves the transfer of harmful
substances or disease-causing microorganisms to
food by hands, shared food-contact surfaces, or other
implements that touch raw food and then touch
ready-to-eat foods before being cleaned.
Time - Temperature Abuse
Allowing food to remain in the "danger zone" of
41˚ to 140˚F (5˚ to 60˚C) for four hours is what
time-temp abuse is all about. In this zone,
bacteria can grow rapidly to dangerous levels,
making food unsafe to consume.
Improper Handling / Hygiene
Failure to properly wash hands, clean and sanitize
equipment, or using bare hands to touch ready-to-eat
foods rather than using gloves or utensils, all
contribute to improper handling and hygiene.
