Informative and important Safe practices for food
This course taught me how to handle food and how important personal and general hygiene is important in preventing food contamination which can affect lives and businesses.
It can affect people by making them sick and can lead to loss of life in severe cases.
It can affect businesses by giving them a bad reputation, loss of customer which also leads to loss of income or reduced profits and in worst situations close of the business.
Not so interesting detail but i think the training videos are too long and over explain everything
change the training part of the test its too long and filled with repetition
