Detailed explanation-1: -Sanitation is a change in food caused by enzymes or by microorganisms. Microorganisms are tiny living things that may be poisonous or that may cause changes in food. Careful handling of food helps to prevent bacteria from multiplying. Bacteria must have food, moisture, and the right temperature in order to grow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sanitation is the creation and maintenance of conditions that will prevent food contamination or food born illness and lower levels of disease-causing microorganisms to a safe level. Cleaning is removing surface food or dirt for example from a surface area.
