Are saltines a tcs food?
No, saltines are not considered a TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) food.

Saltines are dry, shelf-stable crackers that do not support bacterial growth, making them safe for extended storage at room temperature.
What is tcs food?
TCS stands for Time and Temperature Control for Safety. A TCS food is a type of food that is predisposed to pathogenic growth. By following TCS guidelines you can limit the pathogenic growth on these types of foods. Please keep in mind that foods may be added or excluded from the TCS guidelines from time to time. A good example of this is sliced tomatoes, after the recent salmonella scares they were added!As of 2013 TCS foods include:Milk and Dairy ProductsEggsMeat: Beef, pork, lamb, poultry, fish, shellfish and crustaceans.Baked PotatoesHeat-treated (cooked) plant food ricebeansvegetablesTofu or other soy proteinSliced MelonsCut TomatoesSprouts and Sprout SeedsUntreated garlic-and-oil mixtures
