Contaminants come from a variety of places:- Animals we use for food - Air, contaminated water, and dirt- People DeliberatelyThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming bacteria found in dirtIt can produce two different types of toxins which cause different illnessesDiarrhea illness- cooked veggies, meat products, milkVomiting illness- cooked rice dishes, rice puddingSymptoms:- Diarrhea Illness- watery diarrhea and no vomiting- Vomiting Illness- nausea and vomitingPrevention Measures:- Cook food to minimum internal temperatures- Hold food at the correct temperatures- Cool food correctlyH.Illness- ListeriosisFound in dirt, water and plants. It can grow in cool, moist environmentsFoods commonly linked with the bacteria:- Raw meat- Unpasteurized dairy products (fresh cheeses)- Ready-to-eat food like deli meats and hot dogsMost common symptoms:- Pregnant women- miscarriage- Newborns- sepsis, pneumonia, meningitisPrevention measures:- Throw our any product that has passed its expiration date- Cook raw meat to minimum internal temperatures- Prevent cross-contamination between raw and undercooked food and ready-to-eat foods- Avoid using unpasteurized dairy productsI.Found in the intestines of cattle and in infected people. The bacteria can contaminate meat during harvestingFood linked with bacteria:- Ground beef- raw and undercooked- Contaminated produceSymptoms:- Diarrhea (watery, may become bloody)- Severe abdominal pain and vomiting- Mild or no fever- May cause kidney failure in the very young- Symptoms more severe in the immune-compromisedPrevention Methods:- Cook food especially ground beef to minimum internal temperatures- Purchase produce from approved sources- Prevent cross-contamination- Keep staff with diarrhea or hemorrhagic colitis out of the
