Food safety refers to routines in the preparation, handling and storage of food meant to

prevent foodborne illness and injury. From farm to factory to fork, food products may encounter

any number of health hazards during their journey through the supply chain.foodborne diseases.

Most of the time, the food handler is the one who intervenes as the vehicle of transmission of

these diseases, so it is important that we take into account the great role we play in

prevention.
The training of food handlers is mandatory and will allow you to obtain a certificate that will

accredit you as a food handler, allowing you to work in the food industry. Although it is not

mandatory, it is recommended to renew the certificate every 4 years, and to be updated

according to the job. Then, the company itself should offer a specific training in its sector.
A food handler is anyone who, through their work activity, has direct contact with food during

any of its phases until it reaches the final consumer. This includes: preparation, manufacture,

processing, packaging, storage, transport, distribution, sale, supply and service.
This training course will enable you to perform food handling functions, and you should be

responsible with this information, as the health of many consumers depends on you.According to

the World Health Organization (WHO), health is a complete state of physical, mental and social

well-being, and not just the absence of physical discomfort or illness.
So what is food hygiene? It is the group of measures needed to ensure food safety from farm to

table, that is, from the moment they are obtained until they reach the final consumer.
Therefore, we define food-borne disease as any disease caused by consuming contaminated food.
It is important to maintain good food hygiene, as it will lead not only to a safer handling of

food, but also to a good reputation for the company, increased customer satisfaction, and we

will also avoid possible penalties from health authorities.FOOD CONTAMINATION. TYPES OF

What is food contamination? A contaminant or a food hazard is any foreign agent to the food

that is capable of producing a negative effect on the health of the consumer.According to their

origin the hazards are classified into:
Physics: bones, crystals, personal effects, etc.
Chemicals: toxic substances, cleaning products, etc.
Biological: living beings such as insects, rodents, birds, microorganisms, etc.
The main food contamination sources are:
The environment
Pests: living beings.
Utensils and premises: poor hygiene.
Garbage.
The food handler himself: due to lack of hygiene.
Other foods: this is very important, as we are talking about cross-Contamination (transfer of

contaminants from one food to another). It can be given by mixing raw and cooked foods, or

using the same utensils for different foods.Microorganisms act as a source of infection or food

hazard. But what are microorganisms? They are also called germs or microbes and are living

beings so small that they are invisible to the human eye.
Let’s list them according to the harm they can cause:
Beneficial: they are used for food processing.

normal texture of the food.
