By now I am sure that you have guessed that one of my favorite activities is baking. I know, it is a total shocker. Nevertheless, I am a baker. Baking is one of my favorite past times and will be the focus for this assignment. Now the goal of this assignment is to research a law or a regulation that pertains to a certain recreational activity that we are interested in.

There is a need for science to understand the basic principles of contamination and examining which foods that have more potential to become contaminated and possibly hurt an individual.
