What is the temperature danger zone?
The range where pathogens can grow quickly in TCS food. ServSafe commonly teaches 41°F to 135°F; managers limit how long food stays in that range.
What is cross-contamination?
The transfer of pathogens from one food or surface to another, often through hands, cutting boards, utensils, storage errors, or unclean equipment.
What does sanitizing do?
Sanitizing reduces pathogens on a cleaned surface to safe levels. Clean first, then sanitize with the correct concentration and contact time.
