With summer just around the corner, people will be pulling out their grills. Cooked well, BBQ is tasty and perfect for any outdoor gathering, but there are still food safety risks that come with it—namely in regards to temperature abuse. Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40°F and 140°F, also known as the temperature danger zone, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes.

Seafood is becoming ever more popular among restaurantgoers. However, from a food safety viewpoint, it is one type of food that can put customers at risk, without proper food hygiene training. Over the past few weeks, there have been public health officials warning of increasing dangers from foodborne bacteria in raw and undercooked shellfish as summer approaches.
