1. Causes of food spoilage and food poisoning. What is Food Spoilage? Food spoilage is caused by tiny invisible organisms called bacteria. Bacteria live everywhere we live‚ and most of them don’t do us any harm. Pathogens: Harmful Bacteria The bacteria we’re concerned with from a food safety standpoint are the so-called "pathogens" that cause food poisoning. And these pathogens‚ like salmonella or Escherichia coli‚ don’t produce any smells‚ off-tastes or changes in the food’s appearance —

CHAPTER 18 SPOILAGE‚ REWORK‚ AND SCRAP 18-1 Managers have found that improved quality and intolerance for high spoilage have lowered overall costs and increased sales. 18-2 Spoilage—units of production that do not meet the standards required by customers for good units and that are discarded or sold at reduced prices. Rework—units of production that do not meet the specifications required by customers but which are subsequently repaired and sold as good finished units. Scrap—residual material
