Explanation:

TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) foods are those that require time - temperature control to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms. Baked potatoes, poached salmon, refried beans, scrambled eggs, shrimp fried rice, tofu ice cream, and vanilla milk shake are TCS foods as they contain ingredients like potatoes, fish, beans, eggs, seafood, dairy which support microbial growth. Orange juice (usually pasteurized) and whole - wheat bread are less likely to be TCS foods under normal conditions. Pizza with diced tomatoes and green pepper may have TCS elements if the cheese or other toppings are TCS but mainly the vegetables alone are not typical TCS.
