Study Notes
Biological Hazards in Food Manufacturing
- Contamination of food by microorganisms can lead to biological hazards.
- Poor practices in food manufacturing create optimal conditions for harmful pathogens to grow.
Sources of Contamination
- Inadequate and improper storage can lead to contamination.
- Contamination can occur during food preparation.
- Food processing, including cooking and cooling, can also be a source of contamination.
- Packing and distribution of food can also lead to contamination.
- Cross-contamination, such as raw foods coming into contact with ready-to-eat foods, can cause contamination.
- Poor personal hygiene can contribute to contamination.
- Using ingredients past their use-by date can also lead to contamination.
