Cut produce is considered a TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) food because the cutting process can introduce pathogens and increase the surface area exposed to potential contamination, making it more susceptible to spoilage and foodborne illness. Whole produce, on the other hand, has its natural protective barriers intact, which help to reduce the risk of microbial growth and spoilage. Thus, cut produce requires careful handling and storage to maintain safety, while whole produce generally does not.
TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) foods can typically be safely stored in the refrigerator at 41°F (5°C) for up to 7 days. However, this can vary based on the specific food item and its preparation. It's important to regularly check for any signs of spoilage and to follow food safety guidelines. Always label and date foods to ensure proper usage within this timeframe.
Sprouts and sprout seeds are considered TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) foods because they provide an ideal environment for the growth of harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella and E. coli. The warm and moist conditions required for sprouting can lead to rapid bacterial growth if proper handling and storage practices are not followed. Additionally, the seeds themselves can be contaminated before sprouting, making them a potential source of foodborne illness. Therefore, careful attention to temperature and hygiene is essential to ensure their safety.
The Prius can handle snow conditions reasonably well due to its front-wheel drive system and traction control features. However, its low ground clearance and light weight may impact its performance in very deep snow or icy conditions. Using winter tires and driving cautiously can help improve its handling in snowy environments.
=== === === ===Subject: E15) What tropical storms and hurricanes have moved from the Atlantic to the Northeast Pacific or vice versa?Contributed by Stephen Caparotta, D. Walston, Steven Young and Gary Padgett Here is a list of tropical cyclones that have crossed from the Atlantic basin to the Northeast Pacific and vice versa. The tropical cyclone must have been of at least tropical storm strength in both basins (i.e. sustained winds of at least 34 kt, or 18 m/s). This record only goes back to 1949. Before the advent of geostationary satellite pictures in the mid-1960s, the number of Northeast Pacific tropical cyclones was undercounted by a factor of 2 or 3. Thus the lack of many of these events during the 1960s and earlier is mainly due to simply missing the Northeast Pacific TCs. There has not been a recorded case where the same tropical cyclone crossed into the Northeast Pacific then crossed back into the Atlantic. * Atlantic Hurricane Cesar (July 1996) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Douglas. * Atlantic Tropical Storm Bret (August 1993) became Hurricane Greg in the Northeast Pacific. * Northeast Pacific Hurricane Cosme became Atlantic Tropical Storm Allison (June 1989). * Atlantic Hurricane Joan (October 1988) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Miriam. * Atlantic Hurricane Greta (September 1978) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Olivia. * Atlantic Hurricane Fifi (September 1974) became Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm Orlene. * Atlantic Hurricane Irene (September 1971) became Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm Olivia. * A Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm (September-October 1949) became an Atlantic Hurricane (Storm #10) and made landfall in TX.

Once they are picked, sprouts are a TCS food. You need to make sure to keep them refrigerated until eaten after you have purchased them.
Listeria cytogenses is the pathogen that is commonly linked with salad containing 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
Traction Control SystemTCS, is the Traction Control System. You will see the light come on or flicker when the TCS is activated. If the light says TCS OFF, then turn it back on and leave it on.if tcs illuminates, it means tracion control is activated. however, if tcs off/tcs both illuminate, it means pcm has stopped communicating with tcm, and most of the time, the car then is put in "limp home" mode. when both tcs off/tcs illuminate, there are a whole bunch of reasons why
An insulated container should be used to transport TCS foods.
