It is important that one consider cross contamination and adopt measures to avoid this situation. Cross contamination occurs when bacteria or other organisms present in one food are spread to another food and is the leading cause of food poisoning.

Suggestions to avoid cross contamination:

Provide sanitizer buckets with sanitizer solution and clean towels. Obtain training from your product supplier as to the correct use of such.

Provide adequate work space to separate staff working on different food stuffs. You don’t want raw chicken on the same prep table as vegetables and salad ingredients.

Clean and sanitize knives and other utensils before and after use as bacteria, dust and other contaminants can end up on equipment between use.

Suggestions to keep insects and rodents out:

Ensure food bits are not allowed lying around anywhere on the premises. Don’t allow wet boxes in the kitchen or store room which means no cardboard boxes
