∙ 14y agowhy is food a biological hazard I believe you meant to say. When food spoils it usually b/c of bacteria. which is "biological" it becomes hazardous when "perishing" may cause food poisoning or severe gi disturbances even death in extreme cases. ie untreated food poisoning, elderly, immunocompromised etc.. food does not fall in the traditional biological hazard category- only under special circumstance, some of which listed above.

If conditions permit or cross contamination occurs food may be fertile ground for the growth of:
Bacteria Like: Salmonella spp., Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli, Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, Staphlococcus aureus, Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Viruses like hepatitis A virus, Norwalk viruses, Rotavirus
Parasites like Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidia, Giardia spp., Trichinella spiralis, Taenia solium, Anisakis spp.

∙ 12y agoIn food production, contamination means "the addition of something to food that is not food and may make the food unsafe for human consumption". A biological contaminant is bacteria (such as E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter or Listeria), viruses (Norwalk, Norovirus, Hepatitis, etc.) or rarely a fungus (Aspergillium, Fusarium, etc.).

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.
