Detailed explanation-1: -Use separate utensils for handling raw foods and cooked foods. When food is cooked, serve it on a clean plate and use clean utensils to avoid cross contamination. It’s also a good idea to keep cutting boards for raw and cooked foods separate.
Detailed explanation-2: -As previously mentioned, a red chopping board should be used for raw meat & poultry. This board must be used whenever somebody needs to work with raw meat. This is essential for preventing any cross-contamination between raw meat and ready-to-eat foods.
Detailed explanation-3: -Always use a clean cutting board. If possible, use one cutting board for fresh produce and a separate one for raw meat, poultry, and seafood. Once cutting boards become excessively worn or develop hard-to-clean grooves, you should replace them.
Detailed explanation-4: -Use two cutting boards: one strictly to cut raw meat, poultry and seafood; the other for ready-to-eat foods, like breads and vegetables. Don’t confuse them. Consider buying different color cutting boards so it’s easy to remember which is for raw meat and which is for ready-to-eat foods.
