Introduction

Classifying Foodborne Illness : Foodborne Infections – Result when a person eats food containing

pathogens, which then grow in the intestines and cause illness

Foodborne Intoxications– Result when a person eats food containing toxins

that cause illness Foodborne Toxin-Mediated Infections– Result when a person eats food containing

pathogens, which then produce illness-causing toxins in the intestines

IO 3

Introduction

Adverse reactions to food :

Food intolerance (most common) :

– toxins

– infections

– pharmacological properties of food

– host factors (lactase deficiency)

Food allergy (hypersensitivity)

Food aversion (phobia)

IO 4

Introduction

Toxicology = the science of poisons/toxicants/toxins- substance capable of causing harm - = seriously injuring or, ultimately, causing the death

Food toxicology - substances found/contaminate food - consume sufficient quantities - harmful

Poisons were known and studied by the ancient Greeks.

The fundamental concept of toxicology - Paracelsus (1493 - 1541) - his commentary :

– all substances are potential to be a poison poisons

– the right dose - cure.

IO 5

TOXICANTS IN FOODS

Potential sources of toxicants in food

Nutrients :

– = A food substance that provides energy or is necessary for growth and repair.-- Ex. vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Natural food toxicants:

– plants and some animals that are sources of food

Contaminants- Chemical & pathogen

Chemicals or substances - food additives- food reservation+ processing.

IO 6

GIT Physiology

The primary function of the GI tract :

– break down complex food components into substances

appropriate for absorption into the body.

– waste removal

– keep substances that are of no value or are potentially

dangerous out of the body.

Food enters the mouth- chewing mixes it with saliva -

Amylase - destroys some of the bacteria.

IO 7

GIT Physiology

The stomach - hormone gastrin is released- stimulates the release of HCl & pepsinogen- pH ≤ 2.0 critical defense & protects from many pathogens by the partial denaturation of proteins- eg. Salmonella

4 - 6 h chyme - intestine - absorption

Bile- Enterohepatic circulation- excretion toxicants metabolic degradation to urinary excretion - eliminates the toxicant from the body.

Food microbiology

Bacteria :• Salmonellosis• Shigellosis• Vibrio Gastroenteritis• Hemorrhagic Colitis• Staphylococcal Intoxication• Botulism

Virus- Hepatitis A Parasite Fungus Two groups of food contaminates

– Pathogen (cannot see or smell or taste)– Spoilage (can be seen or smelled or tasted)

IO 9

Food microbiology

Staphylococcal food intoxication :– most prevalent foodborne disease.– Onset may 30 min - 8 hrs– Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, cramps, sweating, chills,

weak pulse, shallow respiration, subnormal body temperature.

– Recovery usually occurs within 24-48 hrs. – Source of infections:

• infected wounds and lesions of food handlers• coughing and sneezing

IO 10

Food microbiology

Salmonellosis :

– 40% of all recorded foodborne diseases

– usually self limiting acute gastroenteritis

– the incubation period 6-48hrs (12-36hrs]

– symptoms: diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting and

fever. Generally last 1-7 days.

– Associated both with animals both wild and domestic

– Food associated: beef, turkey, home-made ice cream, pork,

chicken and raw eggs.

IO 11

Food microbiology

Clostridium botulinum

– Sporeforming anaerobic bacteria that produces very potent

toxin

– Symptoms: double vision, inability to swallow, speech

difficulty, progressive respiratory paralysis.

– Onset: after 12-36 hrs or even 8 days.

– Food implicated: canned low-acid food, smoked fish

IO 12

Outbreaks

E. coli 0157:H7 (Northwest)

Cryptosporidium (Milwaukee)

Norwalk virus (Cruise ships)

Vibrio cholerae (South America)

Listeria (New York, New Jersey, CT)

IO 13

Prevention

Application of heat

Adequate refrigeration

Adequate time and storage conditions

Sanitation

Safe thawing practices

Food additives (antimicrobials)

IO 14

Manifestations of food allergy

SKIN: urticaria – angioedema > eczema

RESPIRATORY: rhinitis – asthma

GI TRACT: diarrhea – vomiting

GENERAL: anaphylactic shock

OTHER: migraine, hyperactivity, sleep disturbances etc… ?

smelling…
