Microbial contamination of food can occur through various routes. Contaminated water, improper handling, inadequate cooking temperatures, and cross-contamination are common culprits. Mitigating microbial hazards requires food safety practices like Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Application of HACCP system in food handling area etc. Hand cleaning, keeping raw and cooked food separate, boiling food to safe temperatures, and correctly transporting and storing food are all part of this. People, facilities, equipment, production materials, and containers should all be maintained clean and sanitary, and time and temperature should be managed, in order to prevent contamination during the product manufacturing process. Major machinery in food facilities must always be cleaned and sanitized in accordance with SOPs (standard operating procedures).Technological advancements are becoming increasingly important for enhancing food safety. Innovative packaging methods can extend the shelf life of products and prevent the growth of microorganisms. Lateral flow immunochromatography (LFI) is a popular food safety detection technique in clinical medical treatment, environmental monitoring, and food safety testing due to its simplicity, speed, specificity, and affordability. Additionally, it is necessary to guarantee the safety of food. Using conventional methods in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms in food has no sufficient performance, however, newly established methods like Nano sensors have resolved this problem by rapid detection of pathogenic strains and the identification of their released toxins in all stages of the food production. Through the application of nanoparticles with antibacterial action, nanotechnology has recently offered a novel method against a variety of multiple drug-resistant pathogens.
