    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal–oral_route

    Fecal contamination of food is another form of fecal-oral transmission. Washing hands properly after changing a baby's diaper or after performing anal hygiene can prevent foodborne illness from spreading. [citation needed] The common factors in the fecal-oral route can be summarized as five Fs: fingers, flies, fields, fluids, and food.

    Hazard analysis and critical control points, or HACCP (/ ˈ h æ s ʌ p / [1]), is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes that can cause the finished product to be unsafe and designs measures to reduce these risks to a safe level.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seveso_disaster

    An estimated 25% of all animals in Zone A died immediately after exposure to the aerosol cloud, [11] and by the end July, 3,300 animals, mostly poultry and rabbits, were found dead. [12] Emergency slaughtering commenced to prevent TCDD from entering the food chain, and by 1978 over 80,000 animals had been culled. [12]

    Further symptoms include capillary ruptures and hemorrhages. Ecosystem food chains can be affected due to a decrease in algae productivity therefore threatening certain species. [24] Oil is "acutely lethal" to fish - that is, it kills fish quickly, at a concentration of 4000 parts per million [25] (0.4%). The toxicity of petroleum related ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_safety

    Food safety (or food hygiene) is used as a scientific method/discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent foodborne illness.The occurrence of two or more cases of a similar illness resulting from the ingestion of a common food is known as a food-borne disease outbreak. [1]

    It is a chlorofluorocarbon halomethane (CFC) used as a refrigerant and aerosol spray propellant. In compliance with the Montreal Protocol, its manufacture was banned in developed countries (non-article 5 countries) in 1996, and in developing countries (Article 5 countries) in 2010 out of concerns about its damaging effect on the ozone layer.

    Fumed silica with surface area of 130 m 2 /g . Fumed silica (CAS number 7631-86-9, also 112945-52-5), also known as pyrogenic silica because it is produced in a flame, consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica fused into branched, chainlike, three-dimensional secondary particles which then agglomerate into tertiary particles.

  9. Danger zone (food safety) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_zone_(food_safety)

    These symptoms can begin as early as shortly after and as late as weeks after consumption of the contaminated food. [10] Time and temperature control safety (TCS) plays a critical role in food handling. [11] [12] To prevent time-temperature abuse, the amount of time food spends in the danger zone must be minimized. [13]
