Foodborne Diseases: Overview of Biological Hazards and Foodborne Diseases

, 2014
Foodborne diseases can occur as single cases or outbreaks and sometimes as in the case of cholera spread around the world to cause pandemics. The burden of foodborne diseases is hard to estimate but is in the billions of dollars for loss of life or reduced quality of life, particularly for diseases that are endemic.

Evaluation of food safety in the handling of home enteral nutrition based on a new contamination risk classification: A cross‐sectional study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Home enteral nutrition (HEN) offers clinical benefits and is increasingly used, although handling‐related health risks remain unclear. This study assessed food safety in HEN using a new contamination risk classification. Methods First, the inter‐rater reliability of the Food Safety for Handling HEN checklist was analyzed in 25 ...

Sanitary risk in the handling of home‐prepared enteral formulations: A cross‐sectional assessment of microbiological contamination and food safety

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Studies show increased use of home enteral nutrition (HEN) owing to its benefits. However, knowledge about the sanitary risks of handling home‐prepared formulas remains limited despite their high contamination rates. This study aimed to assess the sanitary risks in the handling of home‐prepared enteral formulations by analyzing ...

Microbiological safety in the reuse of materials in home enteral nutrition: A quantitative in vitro experimental study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In home enteral nutrition (HEN), the reuse of packaging and administration materials beyond the recommended period, combined with inadequate hygiene practice, increase the risk of microbiological contamination. This study assessed the risk through a simulation that reproduced real‐world usage conditions and hygiene practices ...

How uneven access shapes the socio‐economic and environmental potential of game meat value chains: The case of legal game meat in Zambia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Game meat contributes to human nutrition, food security and sociocultural practices around the world. Game meat also comes with risks, including overharvesting and zoonotic and food‐borne disease. These may be pronounced where game meat travels along complex value chains from rural to urban areas.

Chagas' Disease as a Foodborne Illness

Journal of Food Protection, 2009
Various researchers have studied the importance of the oral transmission of Chagas' disease since the mid-20th century. Only in recent years, due to an outbreak that occurred in the Brazilian State of Santa Catarina in 2005 and to various outbreaks occurring during the last 3 years in the Brazilian Amazon basin, mainly associated with the consumption ...
