Detailed explanation-1: -Cross-contamination happens when raw poultry or its juices, contaminated with harmful bacteria or other pathogens, touches a cooked food, a ready-to-eat food or fresh produce.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you cut raw meat on a chopping board, bacteria will spread from the meat to the board and knife. If you then use the same board and knife (without washing them thoroughly) to chop a cucumber, the bacteria will spread from the board and knife to the cucumber. Hands can also spread bacteria.
Detailed explanation-3: -Foodborne illness linked with chicken can be caused through cross-contamination from raw chicken to ready-to-eat (RTE) foods or the environment, such as food contact surfaces and equipment. Cross-contamination often occurs during raw chicken preparation.
