The process of heating food to a high temperature to kill bacteria

Real World Example

Imagine you have a messy room filled with clutter, making it hard to find anything. Just as you would tidy up by sorting and organizing the mess to create a clean, functional space, pasteurization organizes food safety by heating it to remove harmful bacteria, ensuring it’s safe to consume. In this analogy, the clutter represents the bacteria in food, and just like cleaning your room creates a healthier environment, heating the food eliminates the bacteria, making it safe to eat.
