This document provides an introduction to food safety. It discusses the major causes of foodborne illness including biological, chemical, and physical contamination. Biological contamination, specifically pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi, pose the biggest threat if they are allowed to grow in foods. Their growth is supported by conditions like time, temperature, food characteristics, moisture, acidity and oxygen levels. Certain foods called TCS or Time-Temperature Control for Safety foods are especially at risk if not properly handled and temperature controlled. Proper hygiene, cleaning, separation of operations, and supplier oversight are necessary to prevent contamination and foodborne illness outbreaks.
Food Safety refers to
handling, preparing and
storing food in a way to best
reduce the risk of
individuals becoming sick
from foodborne illnesses. Cross contamination is covered and the food cleaning and sanitation is explained in detail. Difference between food safety and sanitation is also a part of the presentation.

Restaurant Crisis Communications and Reputation ManagementAaron Allen
Food makes people happy, but sometimes food mishaps in the hospitality field can mean bad business if they aren’t handled the right way. Spin it correctly, and a restaurant might even come out on top of a mishap. Here are 21 examples of scandals, hoaxes, accidents, and other crisis communications challenges that tested restaurant companies’ PR skills and what we can learn from them.
This presentation contains both veterinary and human health related food safety aspects - causes, preventions and informations with different laws regarding the same.
- Participate in safe food handling practices
- Use hygienic practices for food safety
- It is essential that we maintain the following personal hygiene standards when working in food businesses. This will help prevent the spread of bacteria.
- Aims & Objectives
AIM: to improve the food safety knowledge & skills. OBJECTIVE: provide an understanding of
principles of food safety & how to apply knowledge to control
hazards & prevent food poisoning.

Food quality control in food industry is monitoring and verifying food product quality throughout the supply chain – from actual production and shipment to before consumption – through systematic procedures. The ultimate goal is to verify that products meet stringent criteria for safety, taste, appearance, and other factors
Clinical immunology is the study of diseases caused by disorders of the immune system (failure, aberrant action, and malignant growth of the cellular elements of the system). It also involves diseases of other systems, where immune reactions play a part in the pathology and clinical features.
2. Foodborne illness
• Defined as a disease or illness
transmitted to people by food
• When 2 or more people get
sick with the same illness after
eating the same food it is
called a foodborne illness
outbreak
3. Foodborne illness
• While the foodservice industry does well to
provide safe food to its customers,
foodborne illness happens.
• Foodborne Illness cost the US billions of
dollars each year and according to the
National Restaurant Association (NRA) just
one outbreak can cost an individual
restaurant thousands of dollars.
4. Cost of Foodborne Illness
• Foodborne Illness can come at a huge cost to
a restaurant including:
– Losing customers and sales
– Negative news coverage
– Lawsuits and associated legal fees
– Increased insurance cost
– Loss of good reputation
– Lowered employee morale
– Staff retraining
– Employee absenteeism
5. The Human Cost
• According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) there are
approximately 76 million cases of
foodborne illness each year.
• Of the 76 million cases more than
300,000 will need to be hospitalized
and 5,000 of these individuals will die.
• Thankfully with proper training and
adherence you can do your part to
prevent foodborne illness.
6. High-Risk Populations
• Some people are at higher
risk for contracting a
foodborne illness. These
groups are considered high-
risk.
• High-risk groups have
weakened immune systems,
therefore operations that
serve these individuals must
follow special rules.
• Because you never know who
you may be serving food
safety is of upmost
importance!
7. High-Risk Populations
• High-risk populations include people who:
– Are elderly
– Infants and pre-school age children
– People with cancer, receiving chemotherapy,
those with HIV/AIDS, transplant recipients, or
other general immune deficiency
Even if a high-risk individual survives the illness; the effect can be lasting
8. Forms of
contamination
• In order to protect food
you must be aware of
the things that can make
food unsafe. These are
referred to as hazards.
• Food becomes
contaminated when these
hazardous materials are
present in food.
• Food can become unsafe
in a variety of ways.
9. HOW FOOD BECOMES
UNSAFE
• Poor personal hygiene transfers
pathogens from your body to food.
• Time-temperature abuse allows foods
to stay at temperatures that allows
pathogens to grow
• Cross-contamination transfers
pathogens from one surface or food to
another
• NOTE: pathogens are
microorganisms that
cause illness (think “germs”)
10. Biological
Contamination• Pathogens are the biggest threat to
food safety.
• There are 4 types of pathogens that can
contaminate food. They include:
– Viruses
– Bacteria
– Parasites
– Fungi
11. HOW FOOD BECOMES
UNSAFE
• Poor cleaning and sanitizing can allow
contaminated surfaces to have contact with
food
• Purchasing food from unapproved suppliers
can allow unsafe foods into the operation.
12. Biological
Contamination• While they often cannot be
seen, viruses, present in
food can cause illness.
• Some fungi though, like
mold, can change the
appearance of food, but
may not cause illness.
There are many ways to fight
contamination!
13. FAT TOM
• Pathogens need special conditions to grow.
• These conditions can be made easy to
remember by using the acronym FAT TOM.
• Foodhandlers can keep food safe by controlling
FAT TOM conditions which include:
– FOOD -- TIME
– ACIDITY -- OXYGEN
– TEMPERATURE -- MOISTURE
14. FAT…
• FOOD: Pathogens need an
energy source; food provides
this.
• ACIDITY: Pathogens grow best
in food that have little or no
acid. Acid levels between 4.6-
7.5 are most ideal for
pathogen growth.
• TEMPERATURE: Temperatures
between 41*F and 135*F allow
pathogens to grow at rapid
rates. This temperature range is
referred to as the temperature
danger zone (TDZ).
15. TOM
• Time: Pathogens need time to
grow. When food is in the TDZ,
pathogens grow rapidly. It takes
about 4 hours for pathogen
growth to reach levels that can
make someone sick.
• Oxygen: Some pathogens need
oxygen to grow. Other can grow
without it.
• Moisture: Pathogens need
moisture in food to grow.
Therefore, foods like tomatoes
and melons easily support
pathogen growth.
16. TCS FOODS
• Some foods are more vulnerable to
pathogen growth than others. These
foods require greater control of time
and temperature when handling and are
referred to as TCS or Time-Temperature
for Safety foods.
17. TCS FOODS
• Foods most likely to become unsafe or TCS foods
include:
– Milk and Dairy Products
– Meat; beef, pork, lab
– Eggs
– Poultry
– Fish
– Shellfish
18. TCS FOODS
• Other TCS foods include:
– Baked Potatoes
– Cooked Rice, Beans, Vegetables
– Tofu and Soy Products
– Sprouts and Seeds
– Sliced Melons and Cut Tomatoes
– Untreated Garlic and Oil Mixtures
19. CHEMICAL
CONTAMINATION
• Restaurants use lots of chemicals to keep
things clean. Unfortunately these cleaners,
sanitizers, polishes, and machine lubricants
can contaminate food and cause
foodborne illness.
• For this reason it is important that
chemicals are stored separately from food
and that you follow manufacturers
guidelines for use at all times.
20. Physical Contamination
• When objects get into food it is called physical
contamination. These objects can be naturally
occurring (like fish bones) or result from an
accident.
• Other examples include:
– Metal shavings from cans
– Glass from broken lightbulbs
– Fingernails, hair, and bandages
– Jewelry
– Fruit Pits
Thankfully, most physical contamination can be
prevented by close inspection of food.
21. Keep It SAFE!
• As you can see, there are many potential hazards
to food safety. As a foodhandler it is your
responsibility to be aware of these hazards and
follow proper protocol to avoid them.
• The cost of serving and/or eating unsafe food is
too great to risk it. Anytime you have a question
or are unsure of the safety of something you are
preparing or serving, ask your instructor or
supervisor immediately!
