Yes… You know that about food safety. But, you do not know in deeply. Many definitions are there according to Quality Gurus. Food safety is assurance that food will not cause harm to the consumer when it is prepared and eaten according to its intended use. As well as, It is known as a system of handling , preparing , cooking and storing food that prevents it becoming contaminated or spoiled.

In here food means, any substance or product, whether processed, partially processed or unprocessed , that is intended to be , or reasonably expected to be , ingested by humans. It includes liquids, juices, fresh fruits, food stuffs, ice creams, and any consumable diet. etc,  including water also.

We can group as, Biological ,Chemical and Physical hazards. Hazard is  a potential source of danger, something that could cause harm.

Biological

Bacteria, Protozoa, Parasites, Viruses, Fungi and their toxins introduced during food handling are the main sources  for biological hazards. These hazards cause for food poisonings.
