Four main groups of hazards are associated with food safety:
- Microbiological, such as bacteria, viruses and moulds
- Physical, such as glass, plastic, hair and skin
- Chemical, such as pesticides and cleaning materials
- Allergenic, such as peanuts, shellfish, eggs and milk
Food safety regulations require:
- Identification of where any food safety hazards might exist
- Implementation of effective controls to prevent them from causing harm.
