Name three categories of hazards that can make food unsafe. Biological hazards-- bacteria, viruses, parasites, some molds, poisonous plants, poisonous mushrooms, and seafood that naturally contains toxins.

The critical factors for food quality and safety are temperature and pH. Temperature is the single most important factor which keeps pathogens like bacteria under control. High risk foods are foods where bacteria may multiply if the food is stored at the wrong temperature. They include meat, chicken, seafoods, eggs, smallgoods and diary products. They also include salad vegetables and any prepared food containing combinations of these products.
