Introduction
• Causes of food-borne diseases/illnesses:
1. Chemical toxins (‘residues’)2. Biotoxins – endotoxins & exotoxins3. Infectious agents – exogenous &
endogenous (‘zoonoses’)

Introduction contd
endotoxins & exotoxins
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) : protein
part of bacterium : extracellularno toxoid : toxoid
low potency : high potencylow specificity : high specificity

Introduction contd
• Food hygiene vs food safety food hygiene – microbiological safety of food food safety – abscence of
chemicals/residues
• Not necessary to have ‘sterile’ food

• Frequently exptrapolated• Feeding studies (healthy, young
adult volunteers)
• Estimates (data from outbreaks)
• ‘Worst case’ estimates

Control of food contamination
• Ideal = growing & harvesting stages• But – ‘world is not sterile’• Prevent, reduce or limit by:
Not allowing products from clinically ill animals to enter food chain
Classical meat inspection - grossHACCP - microscopic
![Page 23: FOOD-BORNE DISEASES. 2 Introduction Causes of food-borne diseases/illnesses: 1.Chemical toxins (‘residues’) 2.Biotoxins – endotoxins & exotoxins 3.Infectious](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649ef65503460f94c09b1c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

The chain of production from ‘farm to fork’ of food from animals
Production
Processing
Final preparationand cooking
Farm, Feedlot, Fishing siteSlaughter Plant, Cannery,Packer, Food Factory
Final Kitchen: commercial, institutional or domestic

The chain of production from farm to fork -
prevention can occur at each step
Production
Processing
Final preparation and cooking
Feed, water, manure treatment,biosecurity, probiotics, vaccinesHACCP, slaughter hygiene,pathogen reduction andelimination (pasteurization, irradiation)
Cooking, preventingcross-contamination,worker education and hand washing

Prevention of Food Poisoning
WHO ‘ten golden rules’
• Food processed for safety• Thoroughly cook• Eat immediately• Store carefully• Reheat thoroughly
![Page 26: FOOD-BORNE DISEASES. 2 Introduction Causes of food-borne diseases/illnesses: 1.Chemical toxins (‘residues’) 2.Biotoxins – endotoxins & exotoxins 3.Infectious](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649ef65503460f94c09b1c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Prevention of Food Poisoning
WHO ‘ten golden rules’ contd
• No contact between raw & cooked• Wash hands• Keep food preparation surfaces
clean• Protect from pests• Use potable water

Food-borne disease outbreaks & food spoilage
• Contamination with undesirable micro-organisms
• Unacceptable levels of micro-organisms
• Treatment did not result in inactivation

Food-borne disease outbreaks & food spoilage
• Preventing/limiting contamination
• Preventing/limiting spread• Preventing growth• Preventing survival of organisms
& persistence of metabolites

Microbiological/chemical hazards
• Micro-organisms – part of nature Chemicals – many are man-made• Micro-organisms change numbers• Uneven distribution in food• Clinical symptoms – acute• Variable consumer susceptibility
