Biofilm formation is a common phenomenon in the food industry. Biofilms can exist on all types of surfaces in food plants ranging from plastic, glass, metal, wood, to food products. The attachment of the bacteria to the food product or the product contact surfaces leads to serious hygienic problems and economic losses due to food spoilage. The presence of foodborne pathogens in biofilms is a major risk to public health. This article is a documentary study that presents some aspects of biofilm structure, impact of food-related environmental factors on biofilm development, methods of biofilm control.
