Food-borne hazards can be classified as biological, chemical or physical. Biological hazards can be posed by parasites, viruses or bacteria. Chemical contaminants in foods can come from industrial and agricultural sources, from food processing or from the food itself. Toxic chemicals also come from biological sources such as moulds and algae. Foreign objects present in food could constitute a physical hazard to the consumer.
