Study Notes

Food Safety

Foodborne illness results from consuming contaminated food, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Pathogens (bacteria, viruses, or parasites) cause foodborne illness.
Cross-contamination spreads harmful bacteria from one food to another, often via improper handling.
Sanitization reduces pathogens on surfaces.
The temperature danger zone (40°F to 140°F) is where bacteria multiply rapidly.
Perishable foods (dairy, meats, fresh produce) spoil quickly.
Proper storage (refrigeration, airtight containers) prevents contamination and spoilage.
Best Before dates indicate optimal consumption time, though food may still be safe afterwards.
Hygiene (handwashing, clean surfaces) prevent disease spread.
