Question

drag each to the correct location on the chart. which food items are tcs food and which are non - tcs food? food items: baked beans and rice, raisin muffins, codfish fillets, raw mushrooms, granola bars, beef steaks. chart categories: tcs food, non - tcs food

Explanation:

TCS (Time - Temperature Control for Safety) foods are those that require time and temperature control to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms. Beef steaks (animal protein), codfish fillets (animal protein), baked beans and rice (cooked rice and beans, rice is a TCS food as it's a cooked grain, beans are also TCS as they are cooked legumes), raisin muffins (contain flour and raisins, flour - based baked goods with moisture can be TCS, and raisins are dried but in a muffin with other ingredients), and raw mushrooms (some mushrooms, when raw, can be considered TCS? Wait, actually, raw mushrooms are not typically TCS. Wait, correction: TCS foods include raw or cooked animal products (meat, fish, poultry, dairy), cooked grains (rice, pasta), cooked legumes (beans), and cut melons, tomatoes, leafy greens (but mushrooms: raw mushrooms are not TCS. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re - categorize:

TCS Food: Beef steaks (raw meat, needs TCS), codfish fillets (raw fish, needs TCS), baked beans and rice (cooked rice and beans, both TCS), raisin muffins (contains flour (a TCS - related ingredient when combined with moisture, and raisins are dried but in a muffin with other ingredients that may support growth? Maybe, or maybe not. Wait, non - TCS foods are those that don't support microbial growth, like dry goods, acidic foods, etc. Granola bars: if they are dry and low - moisture, they are non - TCS. Raw mushrooms: some sources say raw mushrooms are not TCS. Wait, let's use the standard TCS food list:

TCS foods:

• Beef steaks (meat)
• Codfish fillets (fish)
• Baked beans and rice (cooked rice and beans)
• Raisin muffins (contains flour, which when baked, but if it has moisture, maybe? Or maybe not. Wait, maybe the intended categorization here is:

TCS Food: Beef steaks, codfish fillets, baked beans and rice, raisin muffins (assuming they have enough moisture to support growth)

Non - TCS Food: Raw mushrooms (maybe considered non - TCS as they are raw and not in a category that needs TCS), granola bars (dry, low - moisture, so non - TCS)

Wait, maybe the correct way is:

TCS Food: Beef steaks, codfish fillets, baked beans and rice, raisin muffins

Non - TCS Food: Raw mushrooms, granola bars

Because:

• Beef steaks: raw meat, TCS.
• Codfish fillets: raw fish, TCS.
• Baked beans and rice: cooked rice (TCS) and cooked beans (TCS).
• Raisin muffins: contains flour (a TCS - associated ingredient when in a moist environment, and raisins are in a muffin with other ingredients that may have moisture).
• Raw mushrooms: not typically TCS (they are fungi, and raw mushrooms don't support rapid microbial growth like TCS foods).
• Granola bars: dry, low - moisture, so non - TCS.

Answer:

TCS Food: beef steaks, codfish fillets, baked beans and rice, raisin muffins
Non - TCS Food: raw mushrooms, granola bars
