  5. Definitions continued… • Contamination: presence of harmful substances in food; some occur naturally, others are introduced by humans or the environment • Personal Hygiene: sanitary health habits that include keeping the body, hair, and teeth clean, wearing clean cloths, and washing hands regularly…especially when handling food and beverages
