Food-borne diseases are increasingly becoming a major global issue. This is believed to be a result of a number of social and economic reasons such as growing international trade, complex multi-item food menus that use components sourced from all over the world or food handlers travelling between countries.

Food handlers have been implicated as a major factor in the spread of food-borne disease. This is partly because the human body is a source of thousands of micro-organisms. 

To ensure relevant control measures are understood, valued and constantly implemented, a business should develop a positive hand hygiene and cross contamination prevention culture.
