    Roberto received a shipment of frozen mahi-mahi steaks that showed signs of time-temperature abuse due to the amount of ice crystals present. He accepted the fish anyway and thawed it in the refrigerator at 38°F before holding it at that temperature during the evening shift. The fish was later implicated in an outbreak of scombroid intoxication. The frozen fish was likely contaminated before delivery due to improper handling and temperature control during storage and transport.

    A Case in Point

    Roberto receives a shipment of frozen mahi-mahi steaks. The steaks are frozen slid at the time
    of delivery and the packages are sealed and contain a lot of ice crystals, indicating they have been time-
    temperature abused. Roberto accepts the mahi-mahi steaks and thaws them in the refrigerator at a
    temperature of 38®F (3®C). The thawed fish steaks are then held at this temperature during the evening
    shift and are cooked to order. The cooks follow all appropriate guidelines in preparing, cooking and
    serving the fish, monitoring time and temperature throughout the process. Unfortunately, these fish
    steaks are implicated in an outbreak of scombroid intoxication.

    Explain why this may have happened?
