Major groups of food contaminants include biological contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites; chemical contaminants, which consist of pesticides, heavy metals, and food additives; and physical contaminants, like foreign objects (e.g., glass, metal, plastic). Each group poses distinct risks to human health and food safety, necessitating rigorous monitoring and regulation in the food supply chain. Addressing these contaminants is essential to prevent foodborne illnesses and ensure consumer safety.
Two major groups of contaminants are biological contaminants and chemical contaminants. Biological contaminants include pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause diseases. Chemical contaminants encompass a wide range of substances, including heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, which can be harmful to human health and the environment. Both types can significantly impact water quality, soil health, and overall ecosystem balance.
