“…Pesticides are widely used globally due to their benefits in controlling the manifestation of pests. They can be applied throughout the food production chain i.e., farm, production, storage, transportation, distribution, processing, and at the consumer level [ 7 , 71 , 78 , 79 , 80 ]. They are essentially chemicals used to mitigate against pests that cause plant diseases.…”

“…Pesticide poisoning has a detrimental effect on human beings. As reported by Bhalla and colleagues, 250,000–370,000 people die every year due to the direct or indirect ingestion of pesticides [ 7 ]. Moreover, between the years 2010–2014, Japan was reported to use pesticides more than any country.…”

“…This happens due to advances in food science and the continued use of agrochemicals. The use of pesticides and fertilizers increases the risk of food contamination significantly [ 7 ], and this risk is observed predominantly in food industries. Agricultural land situated in the vicinity of heavy industries can introduce contamination through the water, soil, and air.…”

“…Agricultural land situated in the vicinity of heavy industries can introduce contamination through the water, soil, and air. This can ultimately cause a double burden of contamination due to the cumulative effect of agrochemicals and industrial pollutants [ 7 , 8 ]. Possible contamination from toxic natural and industrial pollutants can be tested using a variety of techniques in the food industry.…”

Historically, chemicals exceeding maximum allowable exposure levels have been disastrous to underdeveloped countries. The global food industry is primarily affected by toxic chemical substances because of natural and anthropogenic factors. Food safety is therefore threatened due to contamination by chemicals throughout the various stages of food production. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in the form of pesticides and other chemical substances such as Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) have a widely documented negative impact due to their long-lasting effect on the environment. This present review focuses on the chemical contamination pathways along the various stages of food production until the food reaches the consumer. The contamination of food can stem from various sources such as the agricultural sector and pollution from industrialized regions through the air, water, and soil. Therefore, it is imperative to control the application of chemicals during food packaging, the application of pesticides, and antibiotics in the food industry to prevent undesired residues on foodstuffs. Ultimately, the protection of consumers from food-related chemical toxicity depends on stringent efforts from regulatory authorities both in developed and underdeveloped nations.

“…17 The harmful microbes that cause foodborne illness can be divided into ve groups, which are bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa, and fungi. 18 They are called pathogens, in which they are usually found as the root causes of food intoxication and food infection. 19 Food intoxication is caused by toxic substances produced by bacteria in food, leading to a rapid reaction of our body system aer consuming the contaminated food.…”
