Explanation:

1. Raw chicken left out at room - temperature is a case of time - temperature abuse as bacteria can grow rapidly in the temperature danger zone.
2. Baked potatoes are TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) foods as they can support the growth of pathogens if not stored and handled properly regarding time and temperature.
3. Sliced cantaloupe is a TCS food because once cut, it provides a moist and nutrient - rich environment for pathogen growth.
4. Sprouts are TCS foods as they are grown in a moist environment which is conducive to pathogen growth.
5. Sprouts are TCS foods for the same reason as above.
6. Salt and pepper are ready - to - eat as they are not likely to support pathogen growth and can be used directly in food preparation.
7. TCS food stands for food requiring time and temperature control for safety to prevent the growth of pathogens.
