The document discusses hazards associated with foods, including biological, chemical, and physical hazards. Biological hazards include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause illness, such as Salmonella, E. coli, hepatitis viruses, and Cryptosporidium. Chemical hazards refer to toxic substances that are naturally occurring, added intentionally like nitrates, or added unintentionally like cleaning agents. Physical hazards involve hard foreign objects that can cause injury, like bones, stones, or metal fragments. Proper temperature control, separation of foods, approved chemicals, filtering, and sanitation help control these hazards.

- Food safety and food quality are two very important terms used in t the food industry. The goal of food safety is to make a food safe to eat and ensure that it does not contain contaminants that could make a person sick. The goal of food quality is to produce a food product that is desirable to eat. Food of High quality has the best taste, color, and texture possible. Food quality can also be determined by the product shelf life. It is the goal of food inspection (USDA, FDA) to ensure that foods are produced that are safe and wholesome to consume. Food safety is regulated by the government. Good food quality is an important goal for any food company. The quality of your food sells your product and makes you different from the competition. Good food quality makes money.
- Unacceptable foods include foods that are of poor quality or are unsafe to eat. If a person eats a poor quality food, they probably won’t get sick, but the food will not taste or look good. Poor quality foods may have a bad appearance (bad color), wrong texture or bad odors. If a person eats an unsafe food, they may get sick. Unsafe foods may contain too many bacteria, toxic chemicals, or foreign objects such as glass or metal pieces.
- There are many different types of contamination that can make a food unsafe or change the quality. There are biological, chemical, and physical hazards. Biological hazards include bacteria like Salmonella, viruses like Hepatitis, and parasites like those that cause trichinosis. Biological hazards pose the most concern to the food industry. Chemical hazards include natural chemicals that may be in a food or chemical agents that we may add to a food (cleaning agents). Physical hazards include foreign objects that can be introduced into food during growing, harvest/slaughter, and or processing. Physical hazards may include objects like rocks (vegetables), bone (animal products), and metal (from processing equipment). Keeping food safe and of high quality is dependent on the ability to remove and reduce these hazards in food.
- Foods can be contaminated in many different ways. Contamination is the presence of an unwanted substance that could affect food safety and/or food quality. Anything that comes in contact with foods is a potential source of contamination. Examples include water (on fields or in processing), a food handler, equipment used to transport and process foods, air, and pests.
- These hazards are best prevented by controlling time and temperature, and by physical separation. Temperature is very important because it can be used to kill bacteria (cooking), and for reducing bacterial growth (refrigeration). Keeping foods out of the “temperature danger zone” is the key to success. Foods that are kept cold should be kept below 40oF, and foods that are to be cooked need to be cooked at the correct temperature/time requirements. Certain physical hazards can be separated and removed by using a screen (rocks from vegetables), filter (bone from ground beef), or water bath (dirt from vegetables).
- The word “biology” refers to the study of “living things” The living things that concern us in the food industry include bacteria, viruses, and parasites. They are considered to be biological hazards. Bacteria include examples such as Salmonella in poultry products, E. coli in ground beef, and Shigella in untreated water. Bacteria can come from animals, manure, water, human hands, etc. Viruses that can cause foodborne illness include Hepatitis and Norwalk agent. Viruses usually come from human hands or from untreated water (and seafood products). Parasites usually come from animal products or contaminated foods by contact with manure or untreated water. The most common example is Trichinella spiralis in undercooked pork products.
- The most common hazards that we associate with meat and poultry products are Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli bacteria, and the parasite that causes Trichinosis. Salmonella and Campylobacter are thought to be the two most common bacteria that cause illness in foods. These bacteria are common in poultry products and eggs. E. coli can be found in red meat and red meat products. Trichinella spiralis is most commonly associated with pork products. Biological hazards are usually associated with the animal’s intestinal tract and contaminate the food during processing.
- The most common hazards that we associate with fruits and vegetables are Salmonella, E. coli, parasites and viruses. Salmonella and E. coli can be transferred to fruit and vegetables from untreated manure or with contact with the soil. Manure can be an important source of harmful microorganisms. Parasites and viruses can be carried to foods by contact with manure or water. To prevent contamination of fruits and vegetables, control of manure and water are very important. Fruit and vegetables can also be washed and placed in a chlorinated bath to reduce the contamination.
- Biological hazards can be controlled by: Controlling and monitoring storage and processing temperatures (coolers, freezers, ovens, etc.) Preventing cross-contamination (contact with dirty utensils and surfaces) Following the cleaning and sanitation programs
- Temperature is one of the most important ways that you can help control biological hazards. Temperature is important for cooking, cooling, and cold-holding of product. The key is to avoid the temperature danger zone of 40o140o. Food products should be in the temperature danger zone for as little time as possible. Cooking is done to destroy microorganisms and to make foods taste good. Foods are cooked at temperatures well above 140oF to kill microbes. Poultry and eggs are cooked to &gt;165oF, beef is cooked to &gt;155oF, and pork to &gt;160oF to ensure safety. Food is held safe during cold holding. Foods should be kept at &lt;40oF to prevent microbes from growing. Cooling is also important since foods must pass through the temperature danger zone during cooling. Care should be taken to decrease cooling time to less than 4 hours.
- A chemical hazard is any substance that is toxic to humans. Chemical hazards can be produced naturally by living organisms, or can be added intentionally or non-intentionally to a food. Naturally-occurring chemicals are produced by living organisms such as bacteria and molds. Several different types of bacteria produce toxins that can cause illness or even death. Some molds can produce toxins called mycotoxins, which simply means mold toxins. A certain type of mycotoxin (called aflatoxin) is a concern on vegetable products and on feed for animals. Other toxic chemicals can be intentionally added to a food. Food ingredients have a level of safety. If this level is exceeded, the substance may be toxic. Nitrate agents, which are added to meats to improve color and prevent bacteria from growing, are a good example. They are safe at certain levels, but if they are added in excess of safety limits, they can be toxic to humans. The third type of chemicals that can be toxic are those that should not be in a food at any level. Cleaning and sanitizing agents are a good example. These chemicals are intended to be applied to equipment and then rinsed off. If cleaning and sanitizing agents are not rinsed off, they can contaminate food during processing.
- A wide variety of chemical agents can be present in foods. Cleaning and sanitizing agents are always a concern in any food processing operation. There are also chemical hazards that need to be controlled on the farm since they can end up in the final food product. Growth hormones and pesticides can be given to livestock and plants. For animal feed, aflatoxin (a toxin produced by molds) can be a concern since it has been shown to be toxic and cause cancer.
- Chemicals that are added to a food intentionally (ingredient) or non-intentionally (cleaner and sanitizer residues) must be: Approved, legal and safe for use in foods Used at safe levels A food company will often require letters of guarantee or vender certification to help control the quality of incoming raw materials. Cleaner and sanitizer residuals are controlled though proper sanitation procedures and good rinsing. Non-food products should be stored separately from food products. Food ingredients should be stored in a cool, dry place in a sealed container. This helps to prevent growth of molds that can produce aflatoxins.
- A physical hazard is a hard foreign object (bone, metal, glass) that can be harmful to a person’s health. Physical objects can cause illness, induce choking, break teeth, damage the digestive tract, etc. Physical hazards can be part of the food or added as a food ingredient. Just like chemical hazards, there is an acceptable limit (size) for a physical object. Physical hazards can also be introduced during harvesting, distribution, and processing.
- Many types of physical hazards can be present in foods. Physical hazards that are associated with the food include bone fragments or feathers from animal products. Stones, rocks and dirt are commonly found in foods that are grown close to the soil like fruits and vegetables. Metal is a common physical hazard that can be introduced during processing in cutting, slicing, or grinding operations. Physical hazards can be introduced from anything that comes in contact with the food. Physical hazards can come from the person that handles the food. Jewelry and fingernails are common physical hazards that may be present due to poor food handling.
- The key to controlling physical hazards is to be able to find them if they are present and remove them. Physical objects are best removed by some kind of separation technique. Separation can be done in many ways: A filter or sieve can be used to remove physical objects such as in a meat grinder. The sieve plate allows small particles to pass and removes larger objects. A water bath can be used to remove debris such as rocks, stones, and dirt from fruits and vegetables. Heavy objects like stones and rocks fall to the bottom of the bath where they can be removed. When metal is a concern, a metal detector can be used. A metal detector can identify a food that contains a metal object so that food can be examined more closely. Good food handler training is needed since the food handler is an important source of physical hazards. Food handlers should be aware of the physical hazards that could be on their clothing or hands (such as jewelry and fake fingernails) and other items that could end up in food. A good sanitation program includes good procedure for cleaning and sanitizing equipment. Good sanitation also helps to reduce the possibility of physical hazards in the food.
