In 2002, World Health Organization published "Terrorist Threats to Food", which was intended primarily for policy-makers in national governments with responsibilities for ensuring food safety, and was designed to assist them in incorporating considerations of food terrorism into existing food safety systems. In this context, food terrorism was defined as 'an act or threat of deliberate contamination of food for human consumption with biological, chemical and physical agents or radio-nuclear (CBRNE) materials for the purpose of causing injury or death to civilian populations and/or disrupting social, economic or political stability'.

The Contribution of Food Safety Management Systems to the Prevention of Deliberate Food Contamination Smith, Madeleine (2008-09-20) Food Safety Management systems such as HACCP can help to prevent deliberate contamination of food. These systems are widely used already by the food industry to prevent accidental contamination. This makes them an attractive and cost effective way to address the issue of deliberate contamination.
Comparison of thermal sterilization and high hydrostatic pressure-HHP on furan formation, microbial and nutritional quality in commercial baby foods Kültür, Gülçin; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2013) Furan, which is a lipophilic contaminant and formed during heating process in foods, has been pointed out as a danger in baby foods since it has been classified as “possibly carcinogenic to human” by IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer). Hence, a great concern has been addressed to the analysis of this substance in baby foods. This study aims to prove that sterilization of baby foods is possible by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) without allowing the formation of furan. Firstly, HHP treatments...
An investigation of agricultural use potential of wastewater sludges in Turkey with respect to heavy metals and pathogens Özsoy, Gülçin; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2006) Landfilling is the most common method that is used in the final disposal of sludge all around the world as well as in Turkey. However increasing sludge quantities and limited landfilling areas make this method invalid. Use of sludge in agriculture presents a possible alternative for disposal. However, it also poses some risks to be evaluated. In this respect, it is important to identify heavy metal and pathogen content of sewage sludges because of their adverse health effects. This study aims to determine t...
Use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for rapid comparative analysis of Bacillus and Micrococcus isolates Garip, Sebnem; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Severcan, FERİDE (Elsevier BV, 2009-04-15) The identification of foodborne microorganisms and their endospores in food products are important for food safety. The present work compares Bacillus (Bacillas licheniformis, Bacillus circulans and Bacillus silbtilis) and Micrococcus (Micrococcus luteus) species with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Our results show that there are several characteristic peaks belonging to both the Micrococcus and Bacillus Species Which Call be used for the identification of these foodborne bacteria and their...
Isolation and Characterization of Salmonella Bacteriophages DENİZ, Aysu; Soyer, Yeşim; Department of Food Engineering (2022-2-03) Numerous foodborne infections and outbreaks are associated with Salmonella which makes it a challenge in terms of human health and economy. Therefore, reducing the prevalence of Salmonella in food and food processing areas is of great importance. Antibiotics are the substances that are commonly used in various stages of food production in order to fight against Salmonella. However, concerns related with the antibiotic use like antibiotic resistance give rise to pursuit of safer methods to eliminate Salmonel...
