33
Foods are frequently processed to destroy disease-causing organisms and then placed in a container that is sealed with a hermetic seal.
Potentially hazardous foods
34
It refers to a container sealed completely to prevent the entry and loss of gases and vapors.
hermetic packaging
35
Such a container, since it remains intact, also stops the entry of bacteria, yeasts, molds, and other types of contamination.

Missing labels
```
38
It is a process whereby foods are placed in containers and air is removed from the package.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
39
Different gases, such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide, are then added to the packaged food to preserve it.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging
40
This technique allows centralized processing and packaging of retail cuts of meat and poultry, thus eliminating entirely the need for processing at the food establishment.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
41
It is the French term for “without air.”
Sous-vide
42
Processors of ____ foods seal raw ingredients, often entire recipes, in plastic pouches and then vacuum out the air. They then minimally cook the pouch under precise conditions and immediately refrigerate it. Some processors replace some of the air in the pouches with nitrogen or carbon dioxide.
sous-vide
43
Processing food in this manner eliminates the need for the extreme cold or freezing and the intense heat of canning, thus better preserving taste.
Sous-vide
44
Potentially hazardous foods processed using the _____ technique must be kept out of the food temperature danger zone.
sous-vide
45
The lack of oxygen inside the package provides a suitable environment for the growth of
C. botulinum.
46
The FDA recommends that sous-vide foods be:
Be heated according to the time and temperature provided on the package directions.
Used by the expiration date printed on the package
Refrigerate constantly [safe cold storage temperatures may need to be below 41°F (5°C)]
47
It is a preservation technique used by some food processing industries.

Food irradiation
49
The FDA has approved food irradiation for a variety of foods including
fruits, vegetables, grains, spices, poultry, pork, lamb, and, more recently, ground beef.
50
Federal law requires that all irradiated food must be labeled with the international symbol for irradiation called a
“radura”. this symbol must be accompanied by the words “Treated with Irradiation” or “Treated with Radiation.”
51
It can effectively reduce or eliminate pathogens and spoilage microbes while maintaining the quality of most foods.

69
Some states permit game animals, such as that have been killed and dressed in the field, to be used in food establishments.
deer, bear and elk,
70
They must be dressed soon after the kill to prevent rapid growth of bacteria already present in the meat. Next, the meat must be chilled rapidly, transported in a sanitary manner, and processed in an approved facility. Veterinarians are frequently appointed to inspect meat for contamination that would harm humans.

Ultra High Temperature
80
is the process by which a sterile (aseptic) product (typically food or pharmaceutical) is packaged in a sterile container in a way that maintains sterility.
Sterility is achieved with a flash-heating process (temperature between 195 and 295 °F (91 to 146 °C)), which retains more nutrients and uses less energy than conventional sterilization techniques such as retort or hot-fill canning.

It is based on controlling time, temperature, and specific factors that are known to contribute to foodborne disease outbreaks.
HACCP approach
146
It may be biological, chemical or physical in nature. These are frequently introduced into the food by people, poor food-handling practices, and/ or contaminated equipment. Some foods may be naturally contaminated, as in the case of raw meats, poultry, fish and unwashed fruits and vegetables.
