When is foodborne illness considered food poisoning?

  1. After expiration

  2. Upon exposure to sunlight

  3. Due to food containing chemicals like cleansers or additives

  4. During refrigeration

The correct answer is: Due to food containing chemicals like cleansers or additives

Foodborne illness is considered food poisoning when it is caused by consuming food that contains harmful chemicals like cleansers or additives. In such cases, the illness is a result of ingesting these toxic substances rather than from bacteria or viruses commonly associated with foodborne illness. Options A, B, and D do not relate to food poisoning caused by chemicals and are therefore incorrect in this context.
