Detailed explanation-1: -Separate: Don’t cross-contaminate. Store raw meat, poultry, and seafood in sealed containers or packages so the juices don’t leak onto other foods. Use one cutting board or plate for raw meat, poultry, and seafood and a separate cutting board or plate for produce, bread, and other foods that won’t be cooked.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cross-contamination doesn’t happen in the refrigerator – it’s too cold in there for bacteria to survive! Fact: Bacteria can survive and some can even grow in cool, moist environments like the refrigerator. In fact, Listeria bacteria can grow at temperatures below 40 °F!
Detailed explanation-3: -cover raw food, including meat, and keeping it separate from ready-to-eat food. use any dish that has a lip to prevent spillages. store covered raw meat, poultry, fish and shellfish on the bottom shelf of your fridge. use different utensils, plates and chopping boards for raw and cooked food.
