    Sometimes the chemicals we use in the kitchen can be very harmful. They could cause serious burns or even blindness. Some chemicals can also contaminate foods. A material safety data sheet gives specific hazards posed by a chemical, so it is very important that you have one.

    Having foodservice chemicals are very dangerous. For instance, chemicals might be accidentally put in the food by mistake of the container it is in. Another dangerous thing would be that, what if the chemicals were accidentally combined and it causes an accident like a fire or explosion.

    Let's say, someone used Clorox to clean the sinks. Whoever used the Clorox transferred it to an empty clear container to their knowledge. This person leaves the kitchen. The chef comes in looking for vinegar and sees the bottle. He could possibly think it's the vinegar he's been looking for. He takes the bottle and drizzles it over the dish. Now someone is going to be really sick over one mistake of not labeling the bottle. For one the pH of Clorox is 8, but it shouldn't be ingested for it has harmful pathogens. A biological hazard has now occured because the contamination of food. Because no one knows of the mistake, HACCP can not be put in to action to see what's been put in the dish or how to remove it. One innocent mistake could cause lots of damage.

    I think like grease or something that is real hot in the kitchen or something that is hot on the stove (even thestove caps), can easily burn you, or something that is sharp in the kitchen will cut you really bad or scratch you up.

  5. The FDA and the USDA have recognized the wide variety of chemicals used in food processing and have decided what chemicals are acceptable additives in food products and which chemical substances are strictly forbidden. These agencies have also determined acceptable levels of other chemical substances. Chemical hazards affect more people than physical hazards, but typically not as many as a biological hazard. Obviously, some chemicals are of greater concern than others.
    Chemicals are divided into two primary categories: prohibited substances and unavoidable poisonous or deleterious substances. Each company should make certain that none of the prohibited substances are present in ingredients or supplies. Unavoidable poisonous or deleterious substances have FDA tolerance levels or action levels, in the event that exposure or introduction is unavoidable. Products that fall into these categories include pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones and antibiotics, additives and processing aids, lubricants, paints, cleaners and sanitizers. There are a number of manuals available which contain a laundry list of other items that could contaminate. The FD&C Act regulates all of the above except pesticides. Those products without tolerance levels must not be present in any amount.
    Chemical hazards should be addressed in steps in the production process: storage, during use (cleaning agents, sanitizers), prior to receipt (in ingredients and packaging materials), upon receipt of materials, during processing and prior to shipment of product.
    Chemicals which should be considered include color additives, direct food additives, indirect food additives, prior-sanctioned substances, pesticide chemicals and substances generally recognized as safe. All chemicals used in and around manufactured product should have specifications developed, as well as a letter of guarantee from the manufacturer.

    Ingesting food or drinks that have been contaminated with chemicals can cause an immediate and sometimes severe reaction. When this happens it is referred to as a chemical intoxication. The most common symptoms of chemical intoxication are nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, but other symptoms such as rapid heart rate, seizures and paralysis can occur in severe cases.
    •Chemical intoxication can be life threatening and all efforts must be made to properly use and store the chemicals in the foodservice operation.
    The person using the chemicals must understand which chemicals to use for each task, how to properly use, label and store the chemicals and what protective equipment might be needed when using the chemical. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using chemicals to prevent injury.
    •Cleaning and sanitizing chemicals can be highly concentrated and can burn skin and eyes if they are not diluted to the proper concentration. Never mix different chemicals together. Improper mixing of some chemicals can cause a significant chemical reaction and release of toxic gases. Inhaling these toxic gasses can damage the respiratory system and if released in a confined space with little fresh air, the gasses can cause death.

    What are the dangers of foodservice chemicals? They could hurt you. If you handle them unproperly, you could get burned or become poisoned. If you handle them right, they won't hurt you. Managers should consider having their workers take training classes for handling certain substances. It'll reduce the chances of you getting hurt and it'll give you some sense of knowledge.

    The dangers of foodservice chemicals are very dangerous. If the person who supposed to clean the kitchen left behind a chemical then one of the chefs could then use the chemical and not notice it. Whatever dish the chemical was used in that customer could really get sick. When that customer gets sick it's called foodborne illness.

    well, to me there are many ways that chemicals can be dangerous in the foodservice industry. lets say that some one needed some oil for cooking chicken with , but instead of using oil he used lysol. now the consumer who consumes the food will be sick. so it is importiant that the chemicals are put with chemicals and that they are labeld.

    Well an intoxication can happen anywhere, anytime, but people can help prevent it. One way could be to always label all the bottles in which you have put chemicals on. Never leave a botle of chamicals just hanging around because this could cause confusion, and puting someone's health in risk.

  39. Chemical preservatives, cleaners and disinfectants are an important part of food service, providing the necessary hygiene conditions to keep patrons safe from infections and food-borne diseases. Those same chemical elements, however, can be very dangerous if large amounts find their way into the food served and are ingested by patrons. As a result, safe and hygienic food service requires the implementation of a comprehensive chemical food-safety program and an effective teaching process to train cooks and kitchen employees on the proper handling of chemicals in the kitchen.

    You can get really hurt or it could be fatal if chemicals get into your food. Slips and falls can seriously hurt you, you could break a bone or you could become paralyzed if it is really serious.
