may end up in the end up in food

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering Food & Drink
It is related to the food safety document and I'm little confused how to translated it properly:

Many thanks in advance!

may end up in the food

Definitely looks like a word processing error to me.

end up = to finish in a particular place or way 以...结束;以...告终 eg He ended up in a cell for the night.他结果要在小牢房里过了一晚. We ended up taking the train.我们结果赶上了火车.
