An "incident" of chemical food contamination may be defined as an episodic occurrence of adverse health effects in humans (or animals that might be consumed by humans) following high exposure to particular chemicals, or instances where episodically high concentrations of chemical hazards were detected in the food chain and traced back to a particular event.
Potentially Hazardous Food has been redefined by the US Food and Drug Administration in the 2013 FDA Food Code to Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food. [1] Pages 22 and 23 (pdf pages 54 and 55), state the following: PHF table A 2013 FDA Food Code. PHF table B 2013 FDA Food Code.
For example, about 678,000 Americans die each year from chronic food illnesses, a toll higher than all combat deaths in American history combined. [3] [4] Consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with a significantly higher risk of obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, diets high in these ...

A food contaminant is a harmful chemical or microorganism present in food, which can cause illness to the consumer. Contaminated food The impact of chemical contaminants on consumer health and well-being is often apparent only after many years of processing and prolonged exposure at low levels (e.g., cancer ).
PhF behaves rather differently from other halobenzene derivatives owing to the pi-donor properties of fluoride. For example, the para position is more activated than benzene toward electrophiles. For this reason, it can be converted to 1-bromo-4-fluorobenzene with relatively high efficiency. [3]
Variation in potency of certain effects may exist amongst individual benzodiazepines. Some benzodiazepines produce active metabolites . Active metabolites are produced when a person's body metabolizes the drug into compounds that share a similar pharmacological profile to the parent compound and thus are relevant when calculating how long the ...
Beyond adverse effects from the herb itself, "adulteration, inappropriate formulation, or lack of understanding of plant and drug interactions have led to adverse reactions that are sometimes life threatening or lethal."
