|
The HACCP protocol states that food borne illness outbreaks have consistently implicated the same lapses in food handling as contributory factors. Name these 8 lapses in food mishandling?

How does water activity affect the growth of salmonella?
|
>Food with water activity within the range 0.945 - 0.999 will grow well
>foods that have a water activity under 0.94 salmonella has slow death >foods with low water activity below 0.20 allows for long term survival of salmonella |

How can knowledge of a food's pH be useful information for the PHI?
|
pH is not an impediment for pathogenic bacteria growing in most foods, knowing the pH helps the PHI determine what kind of microorganisms grow well in that particular foods pH.
|
|
Matching
a)obligate anaerobe b)microaerophilic organisms c)molds d)Salmonella e)Vibrio parahaemolyticus |
will only grow between pH 4-9 (D) Salmonella
prefer Eh values below -150mV (a) obligate anaerobes need 1-8% Salt (e) vibrio Parahaemolyticus prefer Eh values around +20mV (b) microaerophilic organisms will grow at pH 0-11 (c) Molds |
