This is the only type of welding on the list which does not involve creating an electrical arc to weld. This process requires the use of two gases, acetylene and oxygen, to create a flame hot enough to melt steel. Apply this flame to the steel you are welding and it creates a lasting weld.
By eliminating use of both terms, the final intent of the IFT report will be realized by simply using the term Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food or TCS. Stakeholders that use the FDA Food Code will be able to communicate clearly with others and the public more effectively using this simple term.

TSS is short hand for Toxic Shock Syndrome. It is an extremely rare (and usually preventable), but serious disease that can occur in men, women and children, sometimes resulting in death. It is mentioned in relation to tampons because some cases of TSS have been associated with the use of tampons and some scientific data suggests that the use of tampons increases the risk of TSS. However, tampons themselves have not been found to cause TSS.
