Food Toxicology


Food toxicology is the study of how natural or synthetic poisons and toxicants found in foods cause harmful, detrimental, or adverse side effects in living organisms. Food Toxicology protects against various aspects of food safety and toxicology, such as the nature, properties, effects, and detection of toxic substances in food, as well as their disease manifestations in humans. Other stages of consumer product safety will also be covered. Radioactive components, heavy metals, and food packaging materials are examples of such substances. A food toxicologist is someone who studies toxicants in food, the health effects of high nutrient intakes, and the relationship between toxicants and nutrients.
