		Food poisoning is an illness that results from consumption of food that has been improperly prepared or stored, allowing pathogenic bacteria to grow in the food.
		It is usually distinguished from diseases such as hepatitis, in which food is a vector for transmission of disease between humans.
		Food poisoning that results from a restaurant or other commercial eating place is especially of concern, as it can affect large numbers of people.

	Food Safety and Quality
		Whether raw foods are contaminated at the time of purchase or purchased foods are contaminated by food handlers, over time, mishandling can allow bacteria to survive, reproduce, or in some cases form a toxin in food or the human body.
		In short, food handling errors are almost always directly associated with the "dinner plate" microbial contamination that is a prerequisite for foodborne illness.
		Food safety issues are complex and consumers vary greatly in their knowledge of the science of food safety.

	Food Safety: Introduction
		Due to the demand from consumers worldwide for improved food safety, the OIE is working with other relevant organisations in reducing food-borne risks to human health due to hazards arising from animals.
		In this context, a hazard is defined as a biological, chemical or physical agent in food with the potential to cause an adverse health effect in humans, whether or not it causes disease in animals.
		The Working Group has drawn up a detailed work programme for the development of standards on animal production food safety covering pre-slaughter issues and those prior to the first transformation of animal products, with a primary focus on food safety measures applicable at the farm level.
