Under the HACCP system (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), the three categories of food safety hazards are biological, chemical and physical.
Biological hazards are generally bacteria (such as E. coli), viruses (such as Norovirus) and rarely fungus (Fusarium, etc.)
Chemical hazards include cleaning agents, anti-microbial interventions and any other substance that may contact either the food directly or a food contact surface like a cutting board.
Physical hazards are generally foreign objects, such as wood splinters, metal fragments or plastic pieces.
Each of these categories of hazards must be evaluated for each step of a food production process, and a determination made whether or not the specific hazard is reasonably likely to occur. If the hazard is not reasonably likely to occur, the facility must have a reason and support for that determination. If the hazard is determined to be reasonably likely to occur, the facility must develop and monitor a Critical Control Point (CCP) to eliminate or reduce to an acceptable level that particular hazard.

What foods are hazardous?
The hazards of food are the risks associated with incorrectly cooking food items. Some hazards involved with food is if the meat, seafood or poultry is served undercooked or raw. The incorrect handling of any foods may make them unsafe to consume due to food-borne illness.
The three types of hazards that make food unsafe are?
Biological hazards -- bacteria, viruses, parasites, some molds, poisonous plants, poisonous mushrooms, and seafood that naturally contains toxins.Chemical hazards -- pesticides, food additives, preservatives, cleaning supplies, and toxic metals (lead, copper, brass, zinc, antimony, and cadmium) that can leach into food through cookware, equipment, or plumbing lines.Physical hazards -- foreign objects that accidentally contaminate food that include hair, metal staples, broken glass, bones, needles, dirt, wood, nails.
What are HACCP over traditional food safety programs?
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Programs) addresses the prevention of hazards within the food production and processing industries, rather than inspecting the finished food products. It looks for physical, chemical, and biological hazards that could make food unsafe for human consumption. Primary areas of concern include contamination and spoilage.
What is a health hazards?
A human health hazard is anything that is potentially unsafe to the health of the human body. Basically, it is anything can hurt you or make you sick.
Is it only the microorganisms on food that cause food poisoning?
No. Many foods contain toxins (think mushrooms) which must be removed to make foods safe to eat. But microorganisms can also make food unsafe.
Why does food have to be processed?
It needs to be processed to make sure there it is not contaminated plus there is a law that makes everyone's food be processed and checked for health hazards.
Left Chinese food in the car for 1 hour is it still safe to eat?
One hour shouldn't make it unsafe.
What types of food can you make on the moon?
nothing
What is the importance of knowing holding temperature of hot and cold dishes?
It is a matter of food safety. Food should be kept hot enough (or cold enough) to prevent the food from spoiling. That would make the food unsafe to eat.
