Scenario 1
1. The possible sources for the food borne illnesses are all of the foods due to the heat exposure. Secondly sharing a knife between foods without washing in between in dangerous and can transfer salmonella. After arriving at the BBQ the potato salad was left outside until the meats were cooked which further spoiled the potato salad.
2. Leaving the food in the car for any length of time gets the food time to spoil and time for bacteria to grow on it, to prevent this he should have gone home immediately to put the food up. Sharing the knife and cutting board could have spread the bacteria between the foods, cleaning between foods will prevent the spread of bacteria. Lastly leaving the food on the table during cooking was not wise this could be easily fixed by taking a minute to put the food into a refrigerator until it was ready.
3. Leaner meats like steak can be safe to eat after the temperature is reached despite its color. Hamburger however will generally not change until it has been cooked to the safe temperature.
Scenario 2
1. The lasagna should have been separated into different containers for future eating and to help the cooling process.
2. With the quickness and the severity of the symptoms I would name it as E-coli.
3. The food temperature danger zone can be easily fixed by keeping cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Bacteria growth can be encouraged between the temperatures of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Separating the lasagna into smaller pieces and then putting them into cooler containers before refrigerating can speed up the cooling process.
5. Despite reheating the food to it’s proper temperature the food was left out all night and the food had reached the food temperature danger zone.
Scenario 3
