These symptoms can begin as early as shortly after and as late as weeks after consumption of the contaminated food. [10] Time and temperature control safety (TCS) plays a critical role in food handling. [11] [12] To prevent time-temperature abuse, the amount of time food spends in the danger zone must be minimized. [13]
Food should be removed from "the danger zone" (see below) within two-four hours, either by cooling or heating. While most guidelines state two hours, a few indicate four hours is still safe. T: Temperature Foodborne pathogens grow best in temperatures between 41 and 135 °F (5 and 57 °C), a range referred to as the temperature danger zone (TDZ).
Potentially Hazardous Food has been redefined by the US Food and Drug Administration in the 2013 FDA Food Code to Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food. [1] Pages 22 and 23 (pdf pages 54 and 55), state the following: PHF table A 2013 FDA Food Code. PHF table B 2013 FDA Food Code.
Lactic acid fermentation also preserves food and prevents spoilage. [15] Food like meat, poultry, milk and cream should be kept out of the Danger Zone (between 4 and 60 °C (39 and 140 °F)). Anything between that range is considered dangerous and can cause pathogenic toxins to be emitted, resulting in severe illness in the consumer. [4]

[25] [26] The length of time before a food becomes unsafe to eat depends on the type of food it is, the surrounding environment, and the method with which it is kept out of the danger zone. Always refrigerate perishable food within 2 hours—1 hour when the temperature is above 90°F (32.2°C).
These are classes 9.2–9.4 respectively of the New Zealand classification scheme, and are divided into subclasses according to the degree of hazard. [10] Substances in subclass 9.2D ("Substances that are slightly harmful in the soil environment") do not require a hazard statement, while substances in the other subclasses require an indication ...
Foodborne illness (also known as foodborne disease and food poisoning) [1] is any illness resulting from the contamination of food by pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites, [2] as well as prions (the agents of mad cow disease), and toxins such as aflatoxins in peanuts, poisonous mushrooms, and various species of beans that have not been boiled for at least 10 minutes.
