Accidental contamination of food with cleaning chemicals such as bleach or pesticides during food processing or preparation is an example of a chemical hazard in food. These chemicals can pose serious health risks if consumed in contaminated food products.
Chemical contamination can render the affected foods less safe.
So that there is no cross contamination.
Cross Contamination is the process of passing bacteria from one place to the other. There are two main types of cross contamination:Direct Cross Contamination (For example: Raw food comes into contact with cooked food)Indirect Cross Contamination. (For example: splashing, chef's cloths or food handlers
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.

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)
For example a chemical is like a battery,food,or fuel
Yes, cleaning fluid can be considered a chemical contamination in food. If residues from cleaning agents come into contact with food, they can pose health risks due to the toxic substances they may contain. Proper cleaning and sanitization practices are essential in food preparation areas to prevent such contamination. It's crucial to ensure that all surfaces and equipment are rinsed and free of cleaning agents before food contact.
Chemical contamination in food is most likely caused by pesticide residues, food additives, and heavy metals. Improper handling or processing can also lead to contamination, such as using contaminated water or equipment. Additionally, environmental pollutants can enter the food supply through air, soil, or water. Ensuring proper agricultural practices and food safety measures is crucial to minimize these risks.
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.
