The stories hit the news every now and then, stories about food contamination, either in foods at the grocery stores or at home, due to lack of good sanitation. There are stories of restaurant chains being sued by customers who later were found to have intentionally slipped a cut off human thumb into a fast food meal.
Food contaminants come in three categories, biological, chemical and substance, and object or material.
Biological contaminants range from viruses, bacteria, mold, fungus, worms to hair and insect body parts.
Chemical and substance contaminants range from pesticides, food additives and preservatives, hormones to household cleaning solvents and other toxic substances.
Object and Material contaminants include glass, plastic and metal scraps from factory processing and packaging, to just about anything that may have found its way into a food product, from pebbles, shot pellets and so forth.
