| Illness spread via food or water. Only small no. of bacteria required on food (multiplication not necessary). Food used a disease vector/vehicle. | Foodborne diseases |
| Listeriosis, typhoid, paratyphoid, dysentery, tuberculosis, brucellosis. | Foodborne diseases |
| Bacteria (and their toxins), viruses, chemicals, metals, poisonous plants (e.g. nightshade and toadstools) | Causes of food poisoning (5) |
| Prevent cross-contamination, limit multiplication and destroy bacteria present. | Preventing food poisoning. |
