Preferred term

environmental contaminants in foods  

Definition

  • Making food choices involves decisions about healthfulness, palatability, and safety as well as convenience, cost, or pleasure. Most consumers trust that the foods they buy are free from harmful bacteria, but they are often either unaware of other types of contaminants in foods that may have an impact on their health or have misconceptions about the potential for harmful exposure.
