Biotoxins Sample Clauses

Biotoxins. Marine phycotoxins are worldwide problem for food safety and public health, and consequently for aquaculture and for the activities of food processing companies. More than 40% of the produced mussels are transformed by food processing industries, mostly canned mussels or other minor derivatives. During the required processing, the toxins or mussels can undergo changes that could lead to modifications of their toxin content or their potential toxicity (which depends on toxin concentration and on the potency of the involved toxins). Steaming is one of the simplest processing/cooking methods. This method is an important component of thermal treatment. It is known that cooking or, in general, thermal processing of molluscs dehydrates the meat and consequently leads to a weight decrease, while the degradation of marine toxins is null or very limited. An increase of toxin concentration proportional to the meat weight loss should, therefore, be expected after steaming. Steaming of puffer fish gonads containing high concentration of tetrodotoxin and mussels containing concentrations of Azaspiracids (AZA) were evaluated (table 13).

  • Influenza Vaccine Upon recommendation of the Medical Officer of Health, all employees shall be required, on an annual basis to be vaccinated and or to take antiviral medication for influenza. If the costs of such medication are not covered by some other sources, the Employer will pay the cost for such medication.

The only exception to this would be employees for whom taking the medication will result in the employee being physically ill to the extent that she cannot attend work. Upon written direction from the employee’s physician of such medical condition in consultation with the Employer’s physician, (if requested), the employee will be permitted to access their sick bank, if any, during any outbreak period. If there is a dispute between the physicians, the employee will be placed on unpaid leave. If the employee gets sick as a reaction to the drug and applies for WSIB the Employer will not oppose the application. If an employee is pregnant and her physician believes the pregnancy could be in jeopardy as a result of the influenza inoculation and/or the antiviral medication she shall be eligible for sick leave in circumstances where she is not allowed to attend at work as a result of an outbreak.
