An elementary and important aspect for the preservation of health is food hygiene & preservation of food from production to consumption \u2013 also referred to as \u2018farm to fork\u2019 and includes every stage in the process from growing to storage to distribution, finally consumption and safe disposal of food wastes. Food hygiene, among other things, will also entail having it free of pathogenic microorganisms & unwanted chemicals and contaminants.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Food safety (or food hygiene) is used as a scientific method\/discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent food-borne illness. Food hygiene and safety prevent germs from multiplying in foods and reaching dangerous levels. It ensures daily healthy family living.<\/p>

Food Safety<\/strong> covers all aspects of ensuring that food is safe for a person to eat, whereas Food Hygiene usually more specifically concerns foodborne illnesses, which arise because of primarily bacterial contaminants, but also chemicals and physical hazards. Of course, there is considerable overlap<\/p>

Food safety includes the origins of food including the practices relating to food labelling, food hygiene, food additives and pesticide residues. It also includes policies on biotechnology and food and guidelines for the management of governmental import and export inspection and certification systems for foods.<\/p>

Food can transmit pathogens which can result in the illness or death of the person or other animals. The main types of pathogens are bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungus. Food can also serve as a growth and reproductive medium for pathogens.<\/p>

Food contamination happens when foods are corrupted with another substance. It can happen In the process of production, transportation, packaging, storage, sales, and cooking process. Contamination can be physical, chemical, or biological.<\/p>

Physical contamination.<\/h6>

Physical contaminants (or \u2018foreign bodies\u2019) are objects such as hair, plant stalks or pieces of plastic and metal. When a foreign object enters food, it is a physical contaminant. If the foreign objects are bacteria, both a physical and biological contamination will occur.<\/p>

Common sources of physical contaminations are: hair, glass or metal, pests, jewellery, dirt, and fingernails.<\/p>

Chemical contamination<\/h6>

Chemical contamination happens when food is contaminated with a natural or artificial chemical substance .Common sources of chemical contamination can include: pesticides, herbicides, veterinary drugs, contamination from environmental sources (water, air or soil pollution), cross-contamination during food processing, migration from food packaging materials, presence of natural toxins, or use of unapproved food additives and adulterants<\/p>

Biological contamination<\/h6>

It happens when the food has been contaminated by substances produced by living creatures, such as humans, rodents, pests or microorganisms. This includes bacterial contamination, viral contamination, or parasite contamination that is transferred through saliva, pest droppings, blood or faecal matter. Bacterial contamination is the most common cause of food poisoning worldwide.<\/p>
