In raw or cooked food items, the presence of bricks or stones, hair, threads, prosthetics, or metallic substances can sometimes be observed,
which is a type of primary contamination.
Various chemicals used during food production, such as pesticides, medicines for animal-bird or fish diseases, etc., or artificial chemicals
(colors, fragrances) from the environment that enter food, and heavy metals (lead, arsenic, etc.) present above permissible limits are termed
chemical contamination. This occurs unintentionally or inadvertently during the food production process.
Various types of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, etc., can also cause another type of food contamination due to
their harmful effects.
To mitigate the primary contamination that occurs during production or processing, it is the responsibility of the individuals or institutions
involved in production. However, necessary measures must be taken during primary preparation and serving. Additionally, the primary
contamination that occurs during food storage should be addressed by the steps mentioned
It is possible to prevent the intake of rice, jute, or other items personally. Such as -
1. Before cooking, raw vegetables or fruits should be thoroughly washed with safe water, removing dirt, metallic substances, etc.
2. Selecting crab from granular raw materials.
3. During cooking, hair should be tied up or covered with a hair cap.
4. Keeping hands clean by cutting nails.
