This pollution occurs at every stage of the food supply chain, from production and processing to transportation and consumption. The consequences are far reaching, impacting the environment, human health and the economy. Pollution in the industry is a complex issue with no easy solution. However, by adopting sustainable practices, reducing waste and raising awareness, we can work towards a food system that is both healthy and environmentally responsible. Food pollution refers to the contamination of food with harmful substances that can pose health risks to consumers. Here are the main types of food pollution:
1. Biological contamination: this occurs when food is contaminated with harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. These microorganisms can cause food borne diseases ranging from mild stomach upset to severe infections. Examples include Salmonella, Listeria etc.
2. Chemical contamination this happens when food comes into contact with harmful chemicals such as pesticides, heavy metals or toxins. These chemicals can cause poisoning or long-term health issues.
3. Physical contamination this involves the presence of foreign objects in food such as glass, metal shavings, plastic or dirt. These objects can cause choking, injury or discomfort if ingested.
