Cross Contamination ::

Cross Contamination is nothing but a contamination in a cross way i.e, when a bacteria on a kitchen tool transfers to food via direct contact. Two of the most common kitchen tools usually tend to be a knife or a cutting board. However, it is not just bacteria that gets carried from one place to another — it could also be a virus also.

Cross Contamination is prevented by the following tips ::

1. Use separate equipment

2. Clean and sanitize all work surfaces

3. Remind employees to wash their hands

4. Purchase prepared food

5. Implement a personal hygiene program.
