Abstract
The term food contamination indicates that food and or water contains what makes it unfit for human or animal consumption, whether it is harmful micro-organisms, toxic chemicals or food contaminated with lethal radioactive materials, which may result in eating food infecting the consumer with diseases, the most famous of which are diseases related to food poisoning. Food contamination problems are among the most directly affecting human health problems. Food contaminants can be classified into chemical, physical, and biological pollutants. In this review, we aim to explain the chemical pollutants to foods. Information on these chemical pollutants would enable us to avoid and manage food contaminants for better health and wellbeing.
 
Key Words: Food contamination, toxic chemicals, Disease and Human health
