Over the years, the eating habits of Indians have changed. Food hygiene has gone for a toss at many food joints and outlets.

Food poisoning is caused by eating contaminated food and affects a large number of Indians every year. Food can be contaminated when it is handled, stored or prepared incorrectly. Some foods have a higher risk of causing food poisoning, and some people are more at risk of getting food poisoning than others. Food poisoning occurs when sufficient numbers of particular types of bacteria, or their toxins, are present in the food you eat, these bacteria are called pathogens. Food contamination is not just limited to foods you may consider risky, such as chicken or fish. Prepared fruits, vegetables and salads can also be potentially dangerous.
