Definition
Food safety is a scientific discipline describing:
 Handling
 Preparation

 Serving
Of food in ways that prevent food borne illness.
This Includes a number of routines that should be followed
to avoid potentially severe health hazards

Food contamination refers to foods
that are spoiled or tainted because
they either contain
microorganisms, such as bacteria
or parasites, or toxic substances
that make them unfit for
consumption. By JP Lawand

FOOD CONTAMINATION
By JP Lawand
• Objects that gets into the food
during preparation or serving
• Equipment part
• Damaged utensils
• Cleaning Brush
By JP Lawand
• Hair restraint using suitable cap or hair net
• Long sleeve uniform
• Jacket’s pocket always empty
• Clean environment, closed windows and doors to avoid
dust coming from outside
• Equipment well maintained (check the screws, the
plastic accessories…)
• Avoid the usage of deteriorated utensils
• Ceiling and walls well maintained
By JP Lawand
• Detergent
• Pesticides
• Water
• Air
By JP Lawand
• Designate a suitable area away from food to store the detergent
• Label the detergent with name and usage
• Rinse with water utensils and equipment after using detergents
(White vinegar is ideally to remove the detergent)
• Do not mix between food containers and cleaning containers
• Always check the water you are using, regularly check the filtering
system.
• Regularly check the ventilation system
• Cover the food when you are using the pesticides, sanitize
everything afterward
By JP Lawand
Several insects may transfer food
poisoning bacteria to food.
Flies often land on animal fasces
where they pick up large numbers of
bacteria on their hairy body.
In addition they poop and vomit
previous meals back onto the food
as they feed.
Cockroaches often lives in sewers
and commonly feed on infected
waste.
They hide in the most difficult to
reach places in food rooms.
By JP Lawand
• Clean and sanitize the working area
• Clean the unreachable places (Corners…)
• Maintain walls, ceiling and floor to be free from holes
• Make sure that grain, sugar, flour are free from any sort of pest
• Regular pest control check
• Efficient air curtains on doors
• Fly killers machine
• Cover food
By JP Lawand
We have a microbiological contamination when we add
contaminated raw material or when we have improper handling
Exp.: Bacteria, Viruses, Fungus, Parasites, Protozoa
As mentioned before in “the Personal Hygiene” Micro-germs
(Bacteria, viruses…) are present everywhere it is in the air, the
soil, and water, and in and on plants and animals, including us.

• Bacteria requires a high protein, high carbohydrate food source
Exp.: Meat, Seafood, Poultry, Cooked plant food (backed potato, pasta, rice…)
Foods that are acidic or slightly neutral
Bacteria can not typically reproduce in a highly acidic food
• Bacteria rapidly reproduce between (5 – 60 C) THE DANGER ZONE
• Given enough time in the danger zone range, bacteria will start rapidly
reproducing
The Maximum time is 4 hours
• There are certain Bacteria that requires oxygen to reproduce and we call it
Aerobic Bacteria
• Bacteria requires Moist food to reproduce.
Exp.: Yeast

By JP Lawand
In order to prevent any contamination, standards were set to limit the risk, one of the
standards is HACCP.
HACCP (Hazards Analysis and Critical Control Points)
Based on six principles
Principle 1: Conduct a hazard analysis
Principle 2: Identify critical control points
Principle 3: Establish critical limits for each critical control point.
Principle 4: Establish critical control point monitoring requirements
Principle 5: Establish corrective actions.

knife that you have used to prepare raw meat, poultry or unwashed raw
vegetables unless they have been washed and disinfected thoroughly
first.
 Clean worktops and utensils with hot water and detergent and
remember to disinfect those surfaces that have come in contact with
raw meat, poultry and unwashed raw vegetables. You can disinfect
equipment and utensils using boiling water, a chemical such as an
antibacterial leaner or in a dishwasher.

of soil on them which can contain harmful bacteria, so wash them
thoroughly before use. Don't forget to wash other fruit and vegetables
too, especially if they are going to be eaten raw.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 What does it mean Food Safety?Why we study food Safety?Why it’s important?
  • #5 What does it mean contamination?
  • #6 Food may be contaminated before or during delivery or may become contaminated as a result of poor hygiene practices.There are 4 contamination hazards:ChemicalPhysicalBiologicalMicrobiological
  • #7 The food may be contaminated with chemicals such as pesticides or detergent.Cleaning material should be separated from the foodCleaning and pest control must never expose food to risk Cleaning chemicals must never be transferred to unmark bottles, or food containers (I see the cleaners sometimes using food containers or utensils to clean exp: knives…)Only food-grade packaging should be used. (food- grade paper, bags…)
  • #8 Physical hazards include things like:Glass, wood, nails, stones, hair, medicines, jewelry, Metal, cleaning material such as the bristles, bits of clouthCigarette ends, blades, buttons, pen top…DirtControl : equipment checkup, no glass policy, suitable uniform.
