What is Understanding FAT TOM in Food Safety about?
FAT TOM is a mnemonic device used in the food service industry to describe the six conditions required for foodborne pathogen growth: Food, Acidity, Time, Temperature, Oxygen, and Moisture. It stands for the optimal pH range of 6.6-7.5, temperature range of 70-120°F, and water activity level of 0.86-1.0 that many pathogens need to thrive. Proper food handling and storage is important to prevent pathogen growth by limiting their access to one or more of these critical factors.
