DROPPING SALMONELLOSIS
E
LIZARD DROPPING CONTAINS BACTERIA WHICH IS CALLED
R SALMONELLA WHICH CAUSES SALMONELLOSIS.
SALMONELLOSIS IS AN INFECTION THAT CAN CAUSE
F TYPHOID FEVER, DIARRHEA, ABDOMINAL CRAMPS, CHILLS,
K HEADACHE, NAUSEA, OR VOMITING. THIS INFECTION IS
RARELY FATAL, BUT IT CAN BE LIFE THREATENING ONCE
THE INFECTION REACHES THE BLOODSTREAM AND THE
Y HOST BODY HAS A WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM.

R
WEDDING RINGS
WEDDING RINGS HAVE THE HIGHEST RISK OF CAUSING
FOODBORNE ILLNESSES BECAUSE OF THE BODY FLUIDS
RELEASED BY THE BODY. JEWELRY CAN ACT AS A
RESERVOIR FOR GERMS. THAT’S WHY IF YOU WORK IN THE
FOOD INDUSTRY, YOU SHOULD AVOID WEARING ANYTHING
FANCIER THAN A PLAIN RING ON YOUR ARMS AND HANDS
WHEN YOU WORK. IN THE STUDY OF EST1897, A JEWELRY
SPECIALIST, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE RING, WATCH
AND EARRINGS HAD GATHERED 428 TIMES MORE GERMS
THAN A TOILET SEAT IN SEVEN DAYS.

TORN PIECES OF PAPER
TORN PIECES OF PAPER HAVE THE LOWEST RISK OF
CAUSING FOODBORNE ILLNESSES. PAPER IS MOSTLY
COMPOSED OF CELLULOSE, A HARMLESS ORGANIC
COMPOUND FOUND IN PLANTS (GARDE, 2016). INSOLUBLE
FIBERS LIKE CELLULOSE CAN BE THERAPEUTICALLY
ADVANTAGEOUS FOR PERSONS SUFFERING FROM
CONSTIPATION. ACCIDENTAL INTAKE OF PAPER WILL NOT
BE AS DANGEROUS AS OTHER HAZARDS BUT CAN MAKE
ONE GO TO THE TOILET AS OFTEN SINCE THE HUMAN BODY
LACKS ENZYMES TO PROPERLY DIGEST IT.

CONCLUSION
FOOD IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF HUMAN
LIFE
FOOD IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF HUMAN LIFE. HOWEVER,
SOME FOODS CAN BE HARMFUL TO A PERSON'S BODY,
RESULTING IN LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES. AN
ESTIMATED 600 MILLION – ALMOST 1 IN 10 PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD – FALL ILL AFTER EATING CONTAMINATED FOOD
AND 420 000 DIE EVERY YEAR, RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF
33 MILLION HEALTHY LIFE YEARS (WHO, 2020).
LEARNING ACTIVITY 5 IE432 – FOOD SAFETY AND ISO
PHYSICAL HAZARDS

CONCLUSION
FOOD SAFETY IS IMPORTANT
FOOD SAFETY IS A SCIENTIFIC SUBJECT THAT DESCRIBES
HOW TO HANDLE, PREPARE, AND STORE FOOD IN A WAY
THAT AVOIDS SICKNESS. THIS COMPRISES A SET OF LAWS
THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED TO AVOID SERIOUS HEALTH
RISKS. FOOD CAN TRANSMIT DISEASE FROM PERSON TO
PERSON, AND ALSO SERVES AS A GROWTH MEDIUM FOR
BACTERIA WHICH CAN CAUSE FOODBORNE ILLNESSES.
LEARNING ACTIVITY 5 IE432 – FOOD SAFETY AND ISO
PHYSICAL HAZARDS

CONCLUSION
ABOUT PHYSICAL CONTAMINANTS
PHYSICAL CONTAMINANTS ARE ANY SUBSTANCES NOT
ORDINARILY FOUND IN FOOD THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY OR
ILLNESS TO THE CONSUMERS. CONTAMINATED RAW
MATERIALS, FAULTY PROCESSING EQUIPMENT, INCORRECT
PACKING, AND POOR EMPLOYEE HYGIENE PROCEDURES CAN
ALL LEAD TO THEM ENTERING THE FOOD SUPPLY. METAL
SHARDS, GRAVEL, PLASTIC, GLASS PARTICLES, WINE CORK,
TORN PIECES OF PAPER, AND JEWELRY ARE EXAMPLES OF
PHYSICAL RISKS THAT MIGHT AFFECT FOOD SAFETY. THESE
DANGERS COMPROMISE THE PRODUCT'S SAFETY.
LEARNING ACTIVITY 5 IE432 – FOOD SAFETY AND ISO
PHYSICAL HAZARDS

CONCLUSION
ELIMINATING PHYSICAL HAZARDS
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO ELIMINATE OR REDUCE PHYSICAL
HAZARDS DURING THE WHOLE PROCESS. IN THE
PREPARATION PROCESS, RAW MATERIALS MUST BE
INSPECTED AS WELL AS THE FOOD INGREDIENTS FOR
POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS. THERE ARE EQUIPMENT
AVAILABLE THAT CAN BE USED TO SEPARATE THOSE
UNWANTED OBJECTS. IT IS ALSO ADVISABLE TO CLEAN THE
RAW FOOD AND EQUIPMENT USED.
LEARNING ACTIVITY 5 IE432 – FOOD SAFETY AND ISO
PHYSICAL HAZARDS

CONCLUSION
ELIMINATING PHYSICAL HAZARDS
MOREOVER, YOU CAN ELIMINATE POTENTIAL SOURCES OF
PHYSICAL HAZARDS BY USING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR
YOURSELF AND OTHER BREAKABLE GLASS SURROUNDS YOU.
ESTABLISH AN EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT MAINTENANCE OF
EACH EQUIPMENT USED TO SECURE THE SAFETY AND
HEALTH.
