Temperature Danger Zone

The temperature range where bacteria multiply most rapidly (41°F to 135°F).

FATTOM

A system to help remember the conditions that bacteria need to thrive: Food, Acidity, Time, Temperature, Oxygen, Moisture.

Color-coded Cutting Boards

A color-coded cutting board system to prevent cross-contamination. Raw meats should have dedicated colors, while other foods can share.
