 Hands
 Air
 Coughs and sneezes
 Water

CHEMICAL HAZARD
Exposure of food to chemicals
 Cleaning compounds
 Polishing compounds
 Insectisides
Other labels and samples
Physical hazard

may not be toxic but may cause injury or
discomfort.
 Proper food handling is necessary to
avoid physical contamination.
Physical hazard - insects

growth
How to keep food safe
Food – perishable and non
perishable items
Bacteria require some kind of food
in order to grow. Foods with
sufficient amount of proteins are
best for bacterial growth.
Perishable – meat items
Perishable – dairy products
Perishable – eggs
Perishable – seafood
Non perishable items
temperature
Temperatures between 40F and
140F promote the growth of
disease causing bacteria.
Temperature danger zone
Time
Perishable items shouldn‘t be
inside the temperature danger
zone for more than 4 hours.
Time – not more than 4 hours
Oxygen and moisture
Bacteria require water and oxygen
in order to grow and absorb food.
Oxygen and moisture
Protecting against bacteria
 Keep bacteria from spreading
 Stop bacteria from growing
 Kill bacteria
Importance of safe food
Safe food
Looks good
Tastes good
People will not get sick

Makes us happy!
Let’s all be safe!
