Why do manufacturers package food?
safety (too keep it from picking up contamination from bacteria, physical contamination like dirt, chemical contamination, etc...) to keep it from breaking (like eggs) to make it easier to sell (a can of soup instead of a barrel of soup)
What is is the relationship between chemical digestion and gastric fluid?
Chemical digestion is the process of breaking down large molecules into smaller ones for absorption. Gastric fluid, secreted by the cells in the stomach lining, contains enzymes such as pepsin that help break down proteins into amino acids. This fluid also contains hydrochloric acid, which aids in the digestion of food and kills harmful bacteria. Therefore, gastric fluid plays a crucial role in the chemical digestion of food in the stomach.

Ie Apple is contaminated because you did not wash your hands( non food object) after cutting raw chicken.
