Explanation:
All food should be safe and free from contamination and spoilage at all points in its journey from its source until it reaches the consumers. However, food contamination is a serious public health problem in Ethiopia, resulting in foodborne diseases that affect many people every year. Hence, awareness of potential sources of food contamination is an important component of good nutrition and good health. In this study session we are going to concentrate on food contamination by microorganisms, chemicals and physical factors.
Food may be contaminated by different microorganisms or by chemicals that can cause health problems for anyone who eats it.
They are indirectly related as they lead to the formation of bacteria and insects which spoil the food.
- Unclean surroundings lead to the development of various type of bacteria and even insects.
- For example - Moulds may feed on a variety of foods, including bread, fruit, and vegetables. It multiplies as a result of formation. This is a process that can be managed and put to good use.
- Similarly, an unclean environment invites insects such as cockroaches and flies. It is harmful to food, as they might crawl, giving it an unpleasant flavour and look.
- If the surroundings are unclean, the water can also be polluted, giving the rise to fungus on food, causing the food greenish in colour and making it unfit for consumption.
- The only thing one can do is maintain the environment as clean as possible and ensure that fresh meals are rotated quickly.
