Physical contaminants (or 'foreign bodies') are objects such as hair, plant stalks or pieces of plastic/metal that can occur as contaminants in food. Sometimes the object is a natural component of the food (e.g. a fruit stalk) - but in all cases it is important to find out what it is and how and when it got there.

Examples of chemical changes are burning, cooking, rusting, and rotting. Examples of physical changes are boiling, melting, freezing, and shredding. Often, physical changes can be undone, if energy is input.

A general definition of a hazard as related to food safety is conditions or contaminants that can cause illness or injury. Biological hazards include microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, yeasts, molds and parasites. ... Examples of biological hazards include Salmonella, E. coli and Clostridium botulinum.

Such hazards are categorized into three classes: biological, chemical and physical. Overhead 2. Biological hazards include harmful bacteria, viruses or parasites (e.g., salmonella, hepatitis A and trichinella). Chemical hazards include compounds that can cause illness or injury due to immediate or long-term exposure.

Physical contaminants are also referred to as physical hazards or foreign matter. Shrew teeth in a crop product or a piece of wire in a meat product are examples. Glass pieces, metal fragments, bone chips, and pits may all cause serious harm when ingested.

Raw foods of animal origin are the most likely to be contaminated, specifically raw or undercooked meat and poultry, raw or lightly cooked eggs, unpasteurized (raw) milk, and raw shellfish. Fruits and vegetables also may get contaminated.

breathing in airborne germs – coughs or sneezes release airborne pathogens, which are then inhaled by others. touching contaminated objects or eating contaminated food – the pathogens in a person's faeces may be spread to food or other objects, if their hands are dirty.

Direct cross-contamination - allowing raw food that has food poisoning bacteria on it to touch cooked or ready to eat food. Indirect cross-contamination - where something helps the organisms move from one place to another. We call these 'vehicles' of contamination.

An unclean environment leads to a bad deteriorating condition of a society in the form of contagious diseases etc. Hence it is essential to maintain a healthy eco system. Key types of pollution are air, water, soil, noise, radioactive, light and thermal. They are adversely affecting our environment.

There are three main types of cross-contamination: food-to-food, equipment-to-food, and people-to-food. In each type, bacteria are transferred from a contaminated source to uncontaminated food.
