Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Most bacteria that cause food-borne diseases are spread by food workers. Cooked foods usually do not carry disease-causing bacteria because they have been killed by the high cooking temperatures.
Detailed explanation-2: -Raw food and cooked food should be stored separately in the fridge. Bacteria from raw food can contaminate cold cooked food, and the bacteria can multiply to dangerous levels if the food is not cooked thoroughly again. Always store raw food in sealed or covered containers at the bottom of the fridge.
