Infographic explaining the difference between food hazards and risk, using poultry as an example. Hazards are shown as physical (bones or feathers), biological (bacteria, viruses, parasites), and chemical (veterinary drugs, pesticides, dioxins). Risk is shown as depending on exposure, including how much, how long, how severe, and how often.
Infographic defining an emerging food risk as a risk from a newly identified hazard or from increased exposure or susceptibility to a known hazard. Visual icons illustrate increased exposure to known hazards, new hazards, and increased susceptibility.
Infographic describing mycotoxins as toxic substances produced by certain moulds that can contaminate crops such as maize, wheat, and rice. It shows contributing factors including higher temperature and humidity, extreme weather events, and altered rainfall patterns, alongside mitigation strategies such as climate-resilient farming, improved storage and drying, early warning systems, and sustainable agricultural practices.
