Abstract

Disease prevention and control must be part of the management system where improved net returns are a constant goal. Food-borne diseases are worldwide phenomena and microorganisms can adapt to new human food habits. Food handling must guarantee good food safety. Food can be contaminated from various environments and the emergency of pathogens is a result of the impact on food chains. Inadequate manipulation practices can explain how pathogens colonize and establishes in food and compromises food quality and safety. This review aimed to verify the factors related to pathogen dissemination and the impact in food technology, highlighting the good manipulation practices. It was emphasized the most prevalent pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus. Training food handlers and monitoring the food process unit can avoid food-borne diseases. Emphasis is need on prevention, correct manipulation practices and continuous quality control.
