Reflection (Petrina)

Looking at the various blog post from my friends and the researches that I've made, i found out that Salmonella and E. coli are the 2 most common harmful microorganisms living around us daily. I have learnt the importance of good hygiene practices in the kitchen. It is important to store our ingredients properly at the right temperature and at the correct place to prevent microbial infestation or cross contamination.  I have also learnt more in depth on the right ways of personal hygiene in the kitchen. Personal hygiene is very important as one dirty mistake of ours make bring harm to other innocent people. Soap in general doesn't necessarily kill off all the microorganisms but rather the different types of soap that we use that are important. Buying antimicrobial or antibacterial soap at home would be a better and safer choice for good hygiene even though it my be more costly. The reputation of yourself or the food will be ruined and people will lose faith in you due to poor hygiene. Thus we should always keep clean and be mindful of what we do in the kitchen or when handling food.
