REFLECTION ON HYGIENE AND

SAFETY
My aim in terms of cleanliness is to become knowledgeable
about correct food preparation and hygiene habits. I
gained a lot of knowledge about hygiene, including how
important it is to wash your hands before preparing food,
take care to keep your fingers and nails clean and well-
trimmed, wear head coverings at all times, and prevent
cross-contamination. Knowing how to store food properly
and that bacteria expands more quickly in warm
environments are some of my strengths. On the other
hand, remembering to wear a hair cap whenever I'm in
the kitchen and keeping track of all the different forms of
bacteria are some of my shortcomings. My understanding
of hygiene and unsanitary practices has likely improved.
The more we practice alone, the more we will learn.
