FatTom si an acronyms that highlights 6 stages bacteria can grow faster in food. These are:
Food – Acidity – Temperature – Time – Oxygen – Moisture.
While all of them are very important to know, for me the stand out one is Temperature. It shows you the diffence between the cooking temperature, the fridge temperature and the danger zone temperature which are some key elemeents to know in order to prevent the growth of bacteria in food.
Comprehensive but easy to follow and understand
It was incredibly hard to stay focused after the 1 hour mark and feel if I didn’t already do food handling training before, I would have struggled with the exam.
It was a good training that was easy to understand and comprehend.
I recently completed the AAA Food Handler Course, and it was an excellent experience! The course was well-organized and easy to follow, with clear explanations of food safety, hygiene, and handling practices. I especially appreciated the practical examples and visual aids, which made it easy to understand important concepts like TCS foods, temperature danger zones, and proper thawing methods.
The interactive quizzes helped reinforce the lessons, and I felt confident applying the knowledge in a real-world kitchen setting. Overall, the course was engaging, informative, and very user-friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their food safety skills and meet certification requirements.
It was very educational and easy to do
