What is cross-contamination and how can it be minimized?
What will be an ideal response?
ANS:
Avoid cross-contamination by keeping raw eggs, meat, poultry, and seafood separate from other foods. Wash all utensils and surfaces (such as cutting boards or platters) that have been in contact with these foods with hot, soapy water before using them again. Bacteria inevitably left on the surfaces from the raw meat can recontaminate the cooked meat or other foods—a problem known as cross-contamination. Washing raw eggs, meat, and poultry is not recommended because the extra handling increases the risk of cross-contamination
