Food Safety Flashcards
FOOD SAFETY HAZARDS:
- Physical Hazards
- Chemical Hazards
- Biological Hazards
2 types of Chemical Hazards
-Naturally-occurring
-Added during the processing
Foreign objects that cause illness or injury
PHYSICAL HAZARDS
2 types of PHYSICAL HAZARDS
-Intentionally introduced
-Accidentally introduced
Examples of physical hazard
(MS, ST, GL, BL, FN, HR, BD, DR, BN)
Metal shavings, staples, glass, blades, fingernail, hair, bandages, dirt & bones
A physical, biologic or chemical agent in food with the potential to cause an adverse health effect
HAZARD –
Any substances not intentionally added to food that may compromise food safety
CONTAMINANT –
Occurrence of a contaminant in food or food environment
CONTAMINATION –
carried on or transmitted to people by food
FOOD BORNE ILLNESS –
An incident in which two or more people experience the same illness after eating the same food
FOOD BORNE ILLNESS OUTBREAK –
any person who directly handles packaged or unpackaged food, food equipment and utensils, or food contact surfaces and is therefore expected to comply with food hygiene requirements
FOOD HANDLER –
All conditions and measures necessary to ensure the safety and suitability of food at all stages of the food chain
FOOD HYGIENE –
Classification of Foodborne Illness
Infection:
Intoxication:
Toxin-mediated infection:
caused by the consumption of food that contains living disease-causing microorganisms
Infection:
caused by the consumption of food that contains chemical or toxin produced by bacteria or other source
Intoxication:
caused by the consumption of food that contains harmful microorganisms that produce a toxin once inside the human intestinal tract
Toxin-mediated infection:
General symptoms of foodborne illness
(HeNaVoDe AbDiFaS)
Headache
Nausea
Vomiting
Dehydration
Abdominal pain
Diarrhea
Fatigue
Sore throat with fever
action of monitoring food to ensure that food will not cause foodborne illness or food poisoning
Food safety
All the conditions and measures that are necessary during the production, processing, storage and distribution and preparation of food to ensure that food is safe, sound, wholesome and fit for human
consumption.

HOW FOODS BECOME UNSAFE?
Contaminations
Hazards (Physical, Chemical, biological)
The unintended presence of harmful substances or microorganisms in food
Contamination
Any biological, physical, or chemical property that may cause an unacceptable consumer health risk.
