One example of a chemical food hazard is cleaning solution. If cleaning solution is not properly rinsed off surfaces or equipment in a food processing facility, it can contaminate the food with harmful chemicals, leading to illness or injury if ingested. Another example could be pesticides or herbicides used on crops that may not be washed off properly before consumption.
