Explain the potential consequences of not following food safety standards


If we do not follow food safety standard, then we will not be able to recognise food safety rules which can increase chances of food contamination. Contamination of food can cause food poisoning and food-borne disease in our body. The following common pathogenic bacteria can get into our body from food –

·         Bacillus cereus

·         Staphylococcus  aureus

·         Clostridium perfringens

·         Campylobacter

·         Salmonella

Above mentioned pathogens can even cause death in some cases. If we do not follow food safety standard, then we will be subject to be investigated by health and environmental officer who can even suspend further food services in our premises.
