Physical food contamination is a hazardous yet natural accident of contaminating food with dangerous objects around the kitchen or production base when being prepared.

Article body

[edit]

If kitchens or other places where food may be prepared are unsanitary, it is very likely that physical contamination will occur and cause negative consequences.[1] Dangerous objects such as glass and wire may be found in food which can cause many issues with the individuals who consume it including choking, breaking of teeth and cutting the insides of the body.[2] Children and the elderly are at the highest risk of being harmed by food contamination due to their weaker immune systems and fragile structures. [2] The most common reasoning for physical contamination to occur is when the food is left uncovered without lids.[1] To prevent such contamination and harm to those consuming food from restaurants, cooks are recommended to wear hair nets, remove jewelry, and wear gloves when necessary, especially over wounds with bandages.[3]
