Definition of food contamination• The presence in food of harmful, unpalatable,
or otherwise objectionable foreign substances,
e.g.
• Chemicals,
• Biological (microorganisms )
Or
• physical materials ,
before, during, or after processing or storage.
•

The concept of the Food chain
• Although almost all foods have an agricultural origin but it is clear that, in general, many other steps precede food consumption.
![Page 4: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• These steps including procurement of raw materials, primary production processes, manufacturing practices and retailing.
![Page 5: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• The food chain developed to maintain an appropriate food supply for consumers but it is also the main structure from which food safety can be assessed and managed.

Staphylococcus aureus
![Page 16: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Staphylococcus aureus is a spherical bacterium (coccus) . On microscopic examination appears in pairs, short chains, or bunched, grape-like clusters.
![Page 17: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
These organisms are Gram-positive. Some strains are capable of producing a highly heat-stable protein toxin that causes illness in humans.

![Page 20: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
staphylococcal food poisoning is usually rapid and in many cases acute, depending on individual susceptibility to the toxin, the amount of contaminated food eaten, the amount of toxin in the food ingested, and the general health of the victim.
![Page 21: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The most common symptoms are nausea, vomiting, retching, abdominal cramping, and prostration. Some individuals may not always demonstrate all the symptoms associated with the illness. In more severe cases, headache, muscle cramping, and transient changes in blood pressure and pulse rate may occur. Recovery generally takes two days, However, it us not unusual for complete recovery to take three days and sometimes longer in severe cases.
![Page 22: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Food Incriminated Foods that are frequently incriminated in staphylococcal food
poisoning include: meat and meat products; poultry and egg products; salads such as egg, tuna, chicken, potato, and macaroni; bakery products such as cream-filled pastries, cream pies, and chocolate eclairs; sandwich fillings; milk and dairy products. Foods that require considerable handling during preparation and
that are kept at slightly elevated temperatures after preparation are frequently involved in staphylococcal food poisoning
![Page 23: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
sources
Staphylococci exist in air, dust, sewage, water, milk, and food or on food equipment, environmental surfaces, humans, and animals. Humans and animals are the primary reservoirs.

Bacillus cereus
Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, facultatively aerobic sporeformer whose cells are large rods and whose spores do not swell the sporangium.
![Page 25: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Bacillus cereus food poisoning
two recognized types of illness are caused by two distinct metabolites. The diarrheal type of illness is caused by a large molecular weight protein, while the vomiting (emetic) type of illness is believed to be caused by a low molecular weight, heat-stable peptide.
![Page 26: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The diarrheal type
The onset of watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and pain occurs 6-15 hours after consumption of contaminated food. Nausea may accompany diarrhea, but vomiting (emesis) rarely occurs. Symptoms persist for 24 hours in most instances.
![Page 27: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The emetic type
is characterized by nausea and vomiting within 0.5 to 6 h after consumption of contaminated foods. Occasionally, abdominal cramps and/or diarrhea may also occur. Duration of symptoms is generally less than 24 h.
![Page 28: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Associated Foods
wide variety of foods including meats, milk, vegetables, and fish have been associated with the diarrheal type food poisoning.
The vomiting-type outbreaks have generally been associated with rice products; however, other starchy foods such as potato, pasta and cheese products have also been implicated. Food mixtures such as sauces, puddings, soups, casseroles, pastries, and salads have frequently been incriminated in food poisoning outbreaks

Seven types (A, B, C, D, E, F and G) of botulism are recognized, based on the antigenic specificity of the toxin produced by each strain. Types A, B, E and F cause human botulism. Types C and D cause most cases of botulism in animals
![Page 33: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Animals most commonly affected are wild fowl and poultry, cattle, horses and some species of fish. Although type G has been isolated from soil in Argentina, no outbreaks involving it have been recognized.
![Page 34: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Name of the Disease
Four types of botulism are recognized: foodborne, infant, wound, and a form of botulism whose classification is as yet undetermined. Certain foods have been reported as sources of spores in cases of infant botulism and the undetermined category; wound botulism is not related to foods.
![Page 35: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Foodborne botulism is the name of the disease (actually a food-borne intoxication) caused by the consumption of foods containing the neurotoxin produced by C. botulinum.
![Page 36: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Nature of the Disease
Infective dose : a very small amount (a few nanograms) of toxin can cause illness
![Page 37: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Associated Foods
The types of foods involved in botulism vary according to food preservation and eating habits in different regions. Any food that is conducive to outgrowth and toxin production, that when processed allows spore survival, and is not subsequently heated before consumption can be associated with botulism. Almost any type of food that is not very acidic (pH above 4.6) can support growth and toxin production by C. botulinum.
![Page 38: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Food Analysis
Since botulism is foodborne and results from ingestion of thet toxin of C. botulinum, determination of the source of an outbreak is based on detection and identification of toxin in the food involved. The most widely accepted method is the injection of extracts of the food into passively immunized mice (mouse neutralization test). The test takes 48 hours. This analysis is followed by culturing all suspect food in an enrichment medium for the detection and isolation of the causative organism. This test takes 7 days.

Shigellosis
• This disease occur when Shigella species invade the colonic epithelium through M cells and then spread laterally from cell-to-cell. This invasive ability is due to several virulence factors encoded by a high molecular weight virulence plasmid.

Listeriosis is the name of the general group of disorders caused by L. monocytogenes
Listeriosis
![Page 58: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Listeria monocytogenes
This is a Gram-positive bacterium, motile by means of flagella.
![Page 59: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Nature of Disease
Listeriosis is clinically defined when the organism is isolated from blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or an otherwise normally sterile site (e.g. placenta, fetus).
![Page 60: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Some studies suggest that 1-10% of humans may be intestinal carriers of L. monocytogenes. It has been found in at least 37 mammalian species, both domestic and feral, as well as at least 17 species of birds and possibly some species of fish and shellfish.
![Page 61: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
L. monocytogenes is quite hardy and resists the deleterious effects of freezing, drying, and heat remarkably well for a bacterium that does not form spores. Most L. monocytogenes are pathogenic to some degree.
![Page 62: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Sources
Can be isolated from soil, silage, and other environmental sources.
![Page 63: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Diagnosis of Human Listeriosis
can only be positively diagnosed by culturing the organism from blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or stool (although the latter is difficult and of limited value).
![Page 64: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Associated Foods
L. monocytogenes has been associated with:• raw milk, cheeses (soft-ripened varieties),• ice cream, • raw vegetables,• fermented raw-meat sausages, • raw and cooked poultry,• raw meats (all types), • and raw and smoked fish. • refrigerated foods( due to its ability to grow at
temperatures as low as 3°C which permits multiplication in cold food).
![Page 65: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Food Analysis
The methods for analysis of food are complex and time consuming. Some methods requires 24 and 48 hours of enrichment, followed by a variety of other tests.
![Page 66: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Recombinant DNA technology may even permit 2-3 day analysis
![Page 67: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
VirusesViruses are very simple organisms that cannot
replicate outside a susceptible host cell and do not therefore multiply in foods.
![Page 68: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Food and water can, however, be the vehicle for transmission of a number of different viruses that infect humans via the gastrointestinal tract. This is invariably the result of contamination of food by faeces or vomitus from an infected individual, possibly via some intermediary vehicle such as water or equipment.
.
![Page 69: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Poliomyelitis and hepatitis A are the most serious viral diseases that are known to be transmitted by this route;
Hepatitis E, which can be waterborne, is a significant cause of infectious hepatitis in Asia and Africa. There are also a number of food and waterborne viruses that cause diarrhoea, most notably the small round structured viruses or Norwalk-like agents and Rotavirus
![Page 70: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
VIRAL GASTROENTERITIS
Gastroenteritis means inflammation of the stomach and small and large intestines.
Viral gastroenteritis is an infection caused by a variety of viruses that results in vomiting or diarrhea.
![Page 71: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Many different viruses can cause gastroenteritis, including :
• Rotaviruses
• adenoviruses
• caliciviruses
• astroviruses
• Norwalk virus and a group of Norwalk-like viruses.
![Page 72: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
symptoms of viral gastroenteritis
The main symptoms of viral gastroenteritis are watery diarrhea and vomiting.
The affected person may also have headache, fever and abdominal cramps.
In general, the symptoms begin one to two days following infection with a virus that causes gastroenteritis and may last for one to 10 days, depending on which virus causes the illness
![Page 73: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
sources
Food may be contaminated by -food preparers or handlers who have viral
gastroenteritis. -Shellfish may be contaminated by sewage.
Persons who eat raw or undercooked shellfish harvested from contaminated waters may get diarrhea. Drinking water can also be contaminated by sewage and be a source of the spread of these viruses
![Page 74: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
NORWALK VIRUS
It is estimated that Norwalk viruses are responsible for about one-third of the cases of viral gastroenteritis not involving the 6 to 24-month age group.
Approximately 181,000 cases occur annually, with no known associated deaths. Norwalk and Norwalk-like viruses have been associated with outbreaks on cruise ships and in communities, camps, schools, institutions and families.
![Page 75: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
sources
Raw oysters, cake frosting and salads, as well as drinking water, have been implicated as a common source of viral infection in several outbreaks.
![Page 76: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
ROTAVIRUS
Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhea among infants and children and accounts for about half of the cases requiring hospitalization. Over three million cases of rotavirus gastroenteritis occur annually in the United States, primarily in the winter.
All age groups are susceptible to rotavirus infection, but children six months to 2 years of age, premature infants, the elderly, and the immune-compromised are particularly prone to more severe symptoms. Outbreaks of rotavirus diarrhea are common among hospitalized infants, young children attending day care centers and elderly persons in nursing homes.
![Page 77: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Other viruses
Astroviruses cause sporadic gastroenteritis in children under 4 years of age and account for about 4 percent of the cases hospitalized for diarrhea.
Caliciviruses infect children between 6 and 24 months of age and account for about 3 percent of hospital admissions for diarrhea. By 6 years of age, more than 90 percent of all children have developed immunity to the illness
The enteric adenovirus causes 5 to 20 percent of the gastroenteritis in young children, and is the second most common cause of gastroenteritis in this age group. By 4 years of age, 85 percent of all children have developed immunity to the disease
![Page 78: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Hepatitis A
the most common type of hepatitis, is usually a mild illness characterized by sudden onset of fever, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and abdominal pain, followed in several days by jaundice. Other symptoms include pain in the liver area, dark urine and light-colored stools.
.
![Page 79: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
• The incubation period for hepatitis A varies from 10 to 50 days, which means that infected persons can spread the disease before they realize they have it. Young children often do not show clinical signs of the disease but can still be contagious. The disease is usually mild and recovery complete in one to two weeks. Occasionally, the symptoms are severe and convalescence can take several months
![Page 80: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Hepatitis E
can also be transmitted by the fecal-oral route and can be foodborne. Symptoms are clinically indistinguishable from hepatitis A.
![Page 81: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Avian influenza
• Before the outbreaks in Hong Kong (1997) and in the Netherlands (2003), human infection with avian influenza viruses were rarely reported and usually resulted in mild disease.
![Page 82: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
• Of the few avian influenza viruses that have crossed the species barrier to infect humans, H5N1 has caused the largest number of cases of severe disease and death in humans
![Page 83: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
• Unlike normal seasonal influenza, where infection causes self-limited respiratory symptoms in most people, the disease caused by H5N1 follows an unusually aggressive clinical course, with rapid deterioration and high fatality.
![Page 84: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
• the virus – if given enough opportunities – could change into a form that is highly infectious for humans and spreads easily from person to person.
![Page 85: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
The H5N1 avian influenza and food
• The H5N1 avian influenza virus spreads to virtually all parts of an infected bird, including blood, meat and bones.
• Avian influenza viruses survive in contaminated raw poultry meat and therefore can be spread through the marketing and distribution of contaminated food products, such as fresh or frozen meat.
![Page 86: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
• The viability of the avian influenza virus is maintained at low temperatures.
• The H5N1 avian influenza virus can survive in faeces for at least 35 days at 4 °C and at least six days at 37 °C.
• The virus has also been shown to survive on surfaces for several weeks at ambient temperatures.
![Page 87: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
• In areas affected by Avian influenza A/H5N1 virus, handling of frozen or thawed raw infected poultry meat prior to cooking may be hazardous, if good hygienic practices are not observed.
![Page 88: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
• In areas experiencing outbreaks like Sudan, poultry and poultry products can also be safely consumed provided these items are properly cooked and properly handled during food preparation. The virus is inactivated at temperatures reached during conventional cooking (70 °C in all parts of the food (

BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy)
• BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) is a fatal disease that causes progressive neurological degeneration in cattle.
![Page 93: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
• Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare disease that occurs in humans similar to BSE.
![Page 94: Food Contamination and Food-borne Diseases By : Dr. Nazik Eltayeb Musa Mustafa Nov. 2012 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e005503460f94ae9a43/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
• In 1996, following outbreaks of BSE among British cattle, scientists found a possible link between BSE and a new variant of CJD (vCJD).
• While it is not certain how BSE may be spread to humans, evidence indicates that humans may acquire vCJD after consuming BSE-contaminated cattle products.
