Abstract

A physical hazard is any extraneous object or foreign matter in a food which may cause illness or injury to a person consuming the product. In addition to biological and chemical hazards, the economic food business operator must determine procedures to control physical hazards. The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of hypodermic needles and other metallic physical hazards in pork meat at the level of a cutting plant.
