Chemical contamination can render the affected foods less safe.
Ha uhh NO!
Mainly to prevent food poisoning, but also to prevent physical, environmental and chemical contamination, and in relation to catering having upmost customer satisfaction.
safety (too keep it from picking up contamination from bacteria, physical contamination like dirt, chemical contamination, etc...) to keep it from breaking (like eggs) to make it easier to sell (a can of soup instead of a barrel of soup)

So that there is no cross contamination.
If you are referring to how food becomes contaminated then there are three types of contamination and two ways in which it can occur. The 3 types of ways food can be contaminated is by Physical Contaminants: Chemical Contaminants: Contamination of food through a chemical based product such as bleach Biological Contaminants: Contamination from microorganisms such as, yeast, parasites, viruses, bacteria and mold The 2 ways in which food can be contaminated is through Direct Contamination: contamination of food from the original place it was produced, ie. salmonella on chicken, Cross-Contamination: when food is contaminated from one food to another through a non-food object. Ie Apple is contaminated because you did not wash your hands( non food object) after cutting raw chicken.
Safety precautions in the food service are in place to prevent injury to the people working in food service and, as food safety precautions, to prevent customers from getting food borne illnesses.
Management is responsible for maintaining the food's safety. This is done by the monitoring of food prepping techniques, cross-contamination avoidance, and proper storing and serving temperatures.
It is true that the primary food safety hazard is contamination of the food. Food going bad is also a hazard, although that could also be construed as a form of contamination by bacteria. You could, in theory, be injured by having a large quantity of food fall on top of you, which would only be a hazard in a food warehouse, if the food was not properly stored. If flour dust gets into the air, it is highly flammable and can explode, which is another kind of food safety hazard. If you fell into a huge vat of molasses, you could drown. So a variety of hazards are at least theoretically possible.
Food contamination is when something makes the food inedible or can cause illness when consumed. Contamination can be # Biological (bacteria, parasites, viruses, etc.) # Chemical (cleaners, sanitizers, additives, etc.) # Physical (glass, metal, etc.) Contamination is not necessarily obvious or visible.
Chemical (bleach mixed in) Bacterial (salmonella) Physical (a metal shaving)
When preparing or cooking food contamination refers to the introduction of some unwanted substance (chemical, biological, animal or germs etc.) into what is being prepared.
Food safety programm is a necessity in Food Establishments to avoid contamination. These programmes teach the employees about hygiene to be adhered to during working hours. As the issue of public health is involved, the food safety programmes are of paramountal importance.
