- Mom, do you mind explaining what Cross-Contamination is to me?
- Of course honey, lets start of with the basics.
- Why is avoiding cross-contamination important. I don't understand.
- Sweetie, preventing cross-contamination is very important because it stops you from getting foodborne illnesses. Trust me, it does not feel good to get foodborne sicknesses.
- Cross-contamination is the movement of harmful bacteria from a person, object, or thing, to another
- Using the same equipment usedfor raw meats and other foods such as cuttingboards, knifes, and rags, is also a common example of cross-contamination.
- Ohhh I get it, the transfer of the bacteria from one food, perhaps, to another can get you sick. But are the biggest examples of cross contamination?
- The best example I can give of cross contamination is touching raw meats thenhandling vegetables or other foods without washing hands between tasks.
- There's a trend I am noticing. Raw meats and poultry are the foods that infect other foods with their bacteria. Am I correct?
- Yes honey, you're correct. When dealing with raw meat, bacteria transfers from your hands or objectsto the food and causes food-borneillnesses.
- So I should wash all my kitchen utensils and my hands in between dealing with different foods?
- Yes of course. Washing hands frequently betweencooking tasks and washing utensils are the best ways to ensure safety from cross-contamination.
- Thank you so much mom, I finally get it.
- No problem honey. Always remember to clean and sanitize counter tops while also changing cutting boards between foods. Love you, be safe.
