14. immune system: body's defense against illness. ppl with compromised immunesystems are

16. food safety hazards: biological, physical, chemical
17. time temperature abuse: any time it has been allowed to remain too long at atemperature
favorable to the growth of foodborne microorganisms
18. cross-contamination: occurs when microorganisms are transferred from onefood or
surface to another
19. food contact surfaces: surface that comes into direct contact with food, suchas a cutting
board
20. clean: visibly free of soils
