Foodborne illnesses known to be DTAs are one of the major public health problems. In this way the inability of individuals to handle food has been indicated as one of the main causes of outbreaks of food-borne diseases that are directly related to food contamination. The causes range from the lack of information on personal hygiene, ambient hygiene, improper practices in the operation of the system of production of meals, conservation or distribution in improper conditions.
