5. FOOD BORNE DISEASES:
Food borne diseases is any diseases
resulting from the consumption of
contaminated food, pathogenic bacteria
viruses or parasites that contaminate
food, as well as chemical or natural
toxins such as poisonous mushrooms.
6. THE ETIOLOGY OF FOOD-BORNE DISEASES:
Food-borne diseases are those diseases that are the result of exposure to
pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and parasites, which tend
to have acute effects on human health.
However chronic, and in some cases acute, food-borne illness may also be
caused by the presence of various chemical substances including residues of
pesticides and veterinary drugs, unlawful food additives, mycotoxins, bio toxins
and radionuclides that enter the food intentionally or unintentionally.
The problems :Due to consumption of contaminated food and its detrimental
effect on human health .
7. OBSERVATIONS OF FBD
WHO estimates that one in three people worldwide suffer from a food-borne
disease every year,
1.8 million die from severe food and waterborne diarrhea ,related illness
Most of these illnesses are due to microorganisms and chemical contaminants,
which may occur naturally or be introduced at some point along the food chain.
Campylobacter and Salmonella species account for over 90% of all reported
cases of bacteria related to food poisoning worldwide.
As most cases of food borne disease are not reported, the true dimension of the
problem is unknown.
Today food safety is one of WHO’s top eleven priorities
8. Dangers of food borne disease
Individual :
Loss of family income
Medical expenses
Cost of special dietary needs
Death or funeral expense
Establishment :
Loss of customers and sales
Increase insurance premiums
Lowered employee morale
Increase employee turn over
9. FOOD SAFETY AND SECURITY
The World Food Summit, organized by FAO in 1996, recognized that access to safe
food is in itself an element of food security,
The World Health Assembly Resolution on Food safety from May 2000 stated that :
1. Everyone should have the right to an adequate supply of safe, nutritious food ,
2. Encourages WHO member states ‘‘to implement and keep national and, when
appropriate, regional mechanisms for food borne disease surveillance’’
3. Governments should take the necessary steps to ensure the availability of safe food
for all in order to sustain the health and economic development of their people.
10. CLASSIFICATION OF FOOD BORNE DISEASE
1. Food borne infection: caused due to the-
Entrance of pathogenic microorganisms contaminating food into the body.
Body reacts by raising temperature e.g.- fever
Longer incubation period.
2. Food borne intoxications: Caused by consumption of food containing
bio-toxicants, metabolic products, poisonous substance
11. Reservoir of Pathogen Contamination of food
Viral or Parasitic
infection
Growth of pathogenic bacteria
Infection Intoxication
Toxicoinfection
Food+ Live cells Food +Toxin
Invasive Infection
EVENTS OF FOOD BORNE DISEASES
Mycotoxin
12. Main causes of food borne disease
Cross Contamination - occurs when microorganisms are transferred
from one surface or food to another.
Time temperature abuse– Happens when the food is exposed to
Temperature Danger Zone (41⁰F - 140⁰F) for more than 4 hrs.
Poor personnel hygiene– Food handlers are carriers of disease causing
bacteria. Food service personnel can contaminate food
13. Types of Food Contaminants
Biological Contaminants: A microbial contaminant that may cause a
food borne illness (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, biological toxins)
Examples: Sea food toxins ,Mushroom toxins
Chemical Contaminant :A chemical substance that can cause food
borne illness. Substances normally found in restaurant
Examples: Toxic metals, Pesticides
Physical Contaminants: Any foreign object that accidentally
find its way into food
Examples: Hair, Staple wire, Dust
16. Botulism (*spore forming)
Bacteria : Clostridium Botulinum

Symptoms : Bloody diarrhea followed by kidney failure
Food Sources : undercooked ground beef, unpasteurized apple juice
undercooked fruits and vegetables, raw milk, dairy products
18. Listeriosis
Bacteria : Listeria Monocytogenes
Facultative anaerobic bacteria
Ability to survive in high salt foods, and can grow at refrigerated temperature.
Type of Illness : Bacterial Infection
Onset time : 3- 70 days
Symptoms : headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, dangerous for pregnant
Food Sources: Raw milk, meat, refrigerated ready to eat foods ,soft cheeses
20. Shigellosis
Bacteria : Shigella bacteria
Facultative anaerobic bacteria
Comes from human intestines, polluted water, spread by flies and food handlers
Type of Illness : Bacterial infection
Symptoms : Diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, dehydration
Food Sources : foods that are prepared by human contacts, salads,
ready to eat meats pasta salads, lettuce etc.
21. Staphylococcal illness
Bacteria : Staphylococcus aureus
Facultative anaerobic bacteria. Can grow in cooked or safe foods that are re-contaminated
Commonly found in human skin, hands, hair, nose and throat.
Can grow in high salt or high sugar, and lower water activity
Type of Illness : Bacterial intoxication
Symptoms : nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, headaches
Food Sources: Foods that are prepared by human contacts Left over, meat,
eggs, egg products, potato salad, salad dressings
23. Hepatitis A
Virus : Hepto Virus or a Hepatitis A virus
Found in human intestinal and urinary tract and contaminated water

25. Rota Virus
Virus : Cause diseases like rota virus gastroenteritis
It is the leading cause of severe diarrhea among
infants and children.
Symptoms : vomiting, low grade fever,
watery diarrhea
Transmission : person to person spread
through contaminated hands
27. Molds
Individual mold cells are microscopic, they grew quickly and they become visible
Molds spoil foods, causing discoloration, and unpleasant smell
Mold produce toxins, some of which relate to cancer and cause allergies
Aflatoxin can cause liver disease
Although the cells and spores can be killed by heating to 140°F for 10 minutes, the toxins are heat
stable and are not destroyed
28. Yeast
• Like molds, yeast can cause food spoilage
• Foods such as jellies, honey, syrup, fruit juices are most likely loved by yeast
• Evidence of bubbles, and alcoholic smell or taste are the sign where foods have the
presence of yeast
• Discard any foods that has the evidence of yeast

3. Unintentionally added:
• Secondary direct and indirect
E.g. lubricants, sanitizers, paint
• Agricultural chemicals
E.g., pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers,
• Toxic elements and compounds
E.g. lead, zinc, mercury*, cyanide
43. EPIDEMIOLOGY
Many foodborne illnesses are not recognized or go unreported for a variety of reasons:
First, routine surveillance may not detect a mild foodborne illness.
second, some of the same pathogens that cause foodborne illness can also be transmitted in
water or from person to person.
Lastly, some pathogens are emerging and are not yet identifiable or able to be diagnosed.
Considering these factors, the above listed number of illnesses, hospitalizations and
death may be obsolete.
44. TRANSMISSION
Transmission of foodborne pathogens occurs via the oral route.
How those pathogens contaminate food can vary based on the organism, its reservoir,
food handling/processing, and cross-contamination prior to serving.
Some organisms rely on a human reservoir, such as Norwalk-like virus, Shigella,
Campylobacter.
Others have an animal reservoir such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, E. coli , Listeria, and
Toxoplasma.
45. TRANSMISSION
Contamination can occur at several points along the food chain
On the farm or in the field
At the slaughter plant
During processing
At the point of sale
At home

food borne illness include...
51. Morbidity and Mortality Due to Food Borne Disease
In the United States there are as many as 33
million cases of food borne illness
which are responsible for an estimated 9
thousand deaths annually.
In 2012, the Food Net program identified
19,500 infections, including 4,500
hospitalizations and 68 deaths
52. Continue…
It frequently occurs in children or young people than adults.
Diarrheal disease is one of the major
public health problems in Bangladesh.
Around 70 percent of cases are
considered either food borne or water
borne.
55. Wash your hands!
Hand washing is the most effective way
to stop the spread of illness.
56. HOW TO WASH HANDS
1. Wet hands with warm water.
2. Soap and scrub for 20 seconds.
3. Rinse under clean, running water.
4. Dry completely using a clean cloth
or paper towel.
57. Wash hands after …
Using bathroom or
changing diapers
Sneezing, blowing
nose & coughing
Touching a cut or
open sore Handling food
Handling pets
AND before ...
58. CLEAN DURING FOOD PREPARATION
Wash cutting boards,
knives, utensils and counter
tops in hot soapy water
after preparing each food
and before going on to the
next.
59. AVOID SPREADING BACTERIA
Use paper towels or clean cloths
to wipe up kitchen surfaces
or spills.
Wash cloths often in the hot cycle
of your washing machine and dry
in a hot dryer.
61. USE DIFFERENT CUTTING BOARDS
Use one cutting board
for fresh produce and a separate
one for raw meat, poultry and
seafood.
62. USE CLEAN PLATES
NEVER serve foods on a plate that
previously held raw meat, poultry or
seafood unless the plate has first
been washed in hot, soapy water.
67. THE TWO-HOUR RULE
Refrigerate perishable foods within two
hours at a refrigerator temperature of 40°F
or lower.
Foods include:
• Meat, poultry, fish, eggs, tofu
• Dairy products
• Pasta, rice, cooked vegetables
• Fresh, peeled/cut fruits and vegetables
68. DANGER ZONE
On a hot day (90°F or higher), food should not left out for more than one hour.
