Over eating Nutritional deficiency Allergy Chemical poisioning Bacterial contamination


two primary types◦ food-borne infections◦ food intoxications


•Food infections (microbes are transferred to consumer)•Food poisoning (results from the toxin consumption)


• Ingestion of toxins in foods in which microbes have grown

• Exotoxin • Neurotoxin• Enterotoxin• Metabolite • Staphylococcal food poisoning,• botulism, • Clostridium perfringens food poisoning,• Bacillus cereus food poisoning


ergotism◦ toxic condition caused by growth of a fungus in

grains aflatoxins

◦ carcinogens produced in fungus-infected grains and nut products

fumonisins◦ carcinogens produced in fungus-infected corn


Neurtoxin ( Bacteriophage ) A-G Heat labile Nutrient content ( Glucose , Maltose ) Aw, PH, O-R, NaCl, Temp, Time IP 12-36 h Canned food


Neurological signsVisual disturbances, vertigo, tingling

sensation & paralysis

Clostridium botulinum


Enterotoxin S.aureus , heat stable 4-46 C PH 4.8- 8 Aw 0.86-0.9 IP 2-4 hour


Upper GIT signsNausea, retching, vomiting, abdominal

pain, diarrhoea S. aureus and its toxins B. cereus and its toxin


• C. botulinum, C. perfringens - Soil, hide, faecal material

• Staphylococcus aureus toxin - Human (nostrils and hands)

• Listeria monocytogenes- Soil, hide, faecal material

• Campylobacter spp. - GIT (esp. poultry)

• E. coli O157:H7 - GIT

• Salmonella spp. - GIT / Hide

• Yersinia enterocolitica - GIT


Upper GIT – nausea & vomiting

Lower GIT – cramps & diarrhoea

EndotoxinCytopathic extracellular toxin

Enter toxin


Oral route , food , drink , contact infected animals, sexual activity

Sensitive to gastric acid 104 organism should ingested Multiply in small intestine ----invade

epithelial ----inflammation ----white & red blood cell in stool

Occasionally blood stream is invaded Enteritis


Sources - human – faecal-oral person-to-person - animal – cats, dogs, flies,chickenschickens, ,

cattle, cattle, sheepsheep

Transmitted milk meat productsPublic health control


consumption of undercooked meat products, unpasteurized

milk, water contaminated by the bacteria. Usually, someone with an infection caused

by Yersinia bacteria recovers within a few days without medical treatment (in some cases, doctors prescribe antibiotics


4 to 7 days after exposure and can last up to 3 weeks

fever, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. Sometimes, older kids also get pain in the lower right side of the abdomen, which can mimic appendicitis.

1. Avoid eating raw or undercooked pork. 2. Consume only pasteurized milk 3. Wash hands with soap and water 4. Prevent cross-contamination in the

kitchen: -Use separate cutting boards for meat and other foods. -Carefully clean all cutting boards, counter-tops, and utensils with soap and hot water after preparing raw meat.

5. Dispose of animal feces in a sanitary manner.


is a bacterium in the same family as those that cause cholera.

gastrointestinal illness in humans. V. parahaemolyticus naturally inhabits

coastal waters is present in higher concentrations during summer;

it is a halophilic, or salt-requiring organism.


watery diarrhea often with abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, fever and chills. Usually these symptoms occur within 24 hours of ingestion. Illness is usually self-limited and lasts 3 days.


Most people become infected by eating raw or undercooked shellfish, particularly oysters. Less commonly, this organism can cause an infection in the skin when an open wound is exposed to warm seawater.


•incubation 2 to 5 days •Abdominal painAbdominal pain• DiarrheaDiarrhea• Malaise, fever, headacheMalaise, fever, headache•Usually self-limiting 5-8 days 5-8 days • Antibiotics erythromycin

SymptomsSymptoms


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


Contamination with undesirable micro-organisms

Unacceptable levels of micro-organisms

Treatment did not result in inactivation


Preventing/limiting contamination Preventing/limiting spread Preventing growth Preventing survival of organisms &

persistence of metabolites


No contact between raw & cooked Wash hands Keep food preparation surfaces

clean Protect from pests Use potable water
