unintended mixing of foreign matter, harmful substances, allergens, and the like into food or products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the food industry it's a serious risk directly tied to quality and safety, and its management is required under international standards such as HACCP and ISO 22000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_JWtlUY8b\">Types and background of contamination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Physical contamination<\/strong>: foreign matter such as metal fragments, glass fragments, and plastic pieces<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chemical contamination<\/strong>: mixing of chemical substances such as pesticides, detergents, and heavy metals<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Biological contamination<\/strong>: contamination by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and mold<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Allergen contamination<\/strong>: unintended mixing of allergens such as egg and wheat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As background, the increasing risk from mass production, increasingly complex supply chains, and shared manufacturing lines can be cited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_UyZvU5t1\">Examples of Agriture's contamination management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In manufacturing OEM products, raw-material management that clearly separates the presence or absence of allergens<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thorough cleaning and sterilization of each manufacturing line to prevent cross-contamination<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physical foreign-matter countermeasures through metal detectors and visual inspection<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Record management and corrective-action systems in line with HACCP and FSSC
