Foodborne illness
OR
Foodborne disease
OR
Food poisoning





is any illness resulting from the
Ingestion of food or Drink.
Contaminated with
Living bacteria
or
Other toxins
or
Inorganic chemical
substances
& poisons from
Plants & animals
Types of food poisoning
A.
Bacterial Food poisoning
B. Non- Bacterial Food poisoning
A. Bacterial Food poisoning
1.

food infection
Food infection
refers to the presence
of bacteria or other
microbes which infect
the body after
consumption.
2. food intoxication

Food intoxication
refers to the ingestion
of toxins contained
within the food,
including bacterially
produced exotoxins
Bacteria and bacterial toxins
B.


Non- Bacterial Food poisoning
By chemicals:E.g:Arsenic
Cu sulphate
Mercury
Cadmium
Pesticides
Sea foods
Certain plants
fertilizers
CAUSES:
 improper handling,
 preparation,
 or food storage.




During its production
Growing , Harvesting,
Processing, Storing, Shipping or
Preparing
large variety of toxins that affect the environment
chemicals
pesticides or medicines in food and
naturally toxic substances like poisonous mushrooms.
Good hygiene practices
before,
during,
& after food preparation
can reduce the chances of contracting an illness.
Common Food borne Bacteria


There is a general consensus in the
public health community that
Regular hand-washing is one of the
most effective defenses against the
spread of foodborne illness.
common bacterial food borne
pathogens are:
Staphylococcus





Streptococcus
Vibrio cholerae,
Shigella spp.
Escherichia coli,

Salmonella

Others:-

Campylobacter jejuni (periodontitis)
Clostridium perfringens, the "cafeteria germ


Exotoxins
In addition to disease caused by direct bacterial
infection, some food borne illnesses are caused by
exotoxins which are excreted by the cell as the
bacterium grows. Exotoxins can produce illness
even when the microbes that produced them have
been killed.
Clostridium botulinum

Bacillus cereus
Viruses



Hepatitis A
Norovirus
Rotavirus

Parasites
Protozoa:
Giardia lamblia


Entamoeba histolytica
Global Impact
In modern times,
Rapid globalization of food production
& trade
has increased the potential likelihood of food
contamination.
Many outbreaks of food borne diseases that
were once contained within a small
community
may now take place on global dimensions.


It is difficult to estimate the global
incidence of food borne disease,
but it has been reported that in the
year 2000
about 2.1 million people died from
diarrhoeal diseases.



Many of these cases have been
attributed to contamination of
food and drinking water.
Additionally, diarrhea is a major
cause of malnutrition in infants
and young children.
Even in industrialized countries, up to 30%
of the population of people have been
reported to suffer from food borne diseases
every year.
Temperatures control
 Most types of pathogenic bacteria can grow in temperature
from 41ºF to 140ºF (5ºC to 60ºC) which called temperatures
danger zone (TDZ),
 To prevent bacteria from growing, we must set the
refrigerator temperature not higher than 39ºF (4ºC).
 Refrigerator must not be too full, as Cold air must circulate
to keep food safe.
High-risk food
Bacteria grow and multiply on some types of food
more easily than on others. The types of foods
which bacteria prefer include:
• meat
• poultry
• dairy products
• eggs
• seafood
• cooked rice
• cooked pasta
• prepared salads and pasta salads
• prepared fruit salads

Strategies to prevent food poisoning
1.
Keep hands and nails clean
We need to:

wash hands and nails thoroughly with
warm, running water and soap

dry hands thoroughly

cover cuts and infections
on hands
Keeping the kitchen clean
When cleaning plates and equipment, we need to:

scrape and rinse off surface food

wash in clean, soapy water

rinse in clean water

air dry where possible

if drying immediately, use only a clean, dry towel.
Pest control and animals



stop pests such as cockroaches and mice coming into the area
where food is kept
discourage pests by not leaving food or dirty dishes out on the
benches
keep animals out of the kitchen.
Handling food safely







avoid preparing food when sick or feeling unwell
keep raw meats, poultry and seafood
separated from cooked food and food to be eaten
raw
protect food in the refrigerator by placing in
covered
containers or covering with plastic wrap
use clean equipment, plates or containers to prevent
contamination of cooked food
use clean equipment, rather than hands, to pick up
food
wear clean clothes or a clean apron
wash fruit and vegetables to be
eaten raw under running water.
FOOD POISONING PRECAUTIONS (same as in Urdu)

Always wash your hands with an antibacterial soap before eating
something because food poisoning is mostly caused by germs.

Especially wash your hands after using the wash room. This will not
only help you prevent liver disorders but you also remain safe from
skin infections.

Drink mineral water.

If drinking mineral water isn’t possible, boil the water before you
drink it because one reason of food poisoning is polluted water.

Avoid stale food; always eat fresh and hygienic food because stale and
unhygienic food can be a cause of liver disorders.

Eat fresh fruits and vegetables: always wash the fruit and vegetables
before eating because the fruits brought from the market are kept
open in polluted areas and they contain a lot of germs.

Always use home frozen ice; avoid using ice brought from the market
as this ice is not frozen by filtered water.

Spicy and unhygienic bites can ruin your stomach! Avoid them!

Do not freeze meat for more than two days. The meat frozen for more
than two days not only loses its proteins but is also hazardous for
health.

Food poisoning and other stomach disorders are caused due to
unhygienic food.
