INTRODUCTION
Food safety is a very important aspect that has to be considered very effectively as to
prevent oneself from various infectious diseases. There are many situations where people use to

and ingredient, temperature control structure also. It would assess significance of cleaning,
individual cleanliness and infection control in food.
TASK 1
1.1 Review of controls available to prevent food contamination
Contamination of food is known as that state in which food becomes spoiled with this
food become useless and can not be eaten any more and if consumed then various diseases and
infections any many more problems will take place. Food impurity is very much dangerous as
that could lead towards food borne or any other harmful diseases to those who will consume the
