WHAT IS CROSS-CONTAMINATION

Foundation Practices

Bacterial cross-contamination is defined because of the transfer of bacteria or
other microorganisms from one substance to a different one (2).
Other sorts of cross-contamination include the transfer of food allergens,
chemicals, or toxins Though these aren’t the main target of this text (3Trusted
Source, 4Trusted Source).

Many people assume that foodborne illness is usually caused by eating at
restaurants. But there are some ways during which cross-contamination can occur,
including (2, 4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source):
Primary food production, from plants and animals on farms during harvest or
slaughter secondary food production. Including food processing and manufacturing
transportation of food storage of food distribution of food. Grocery stores,
farmer’s markets, and more food preparation and serving.—Reception, restaurants,
and other foodservice operations

Given that there are many points at which cross-contamination can occur. t’s
important to find out about the various types and the way you’ll prevent it.
SUMMARY Cross-contamination is defined because of the transfer of bacteria or
other microorganisms from one substance to a different.

It can happen during any stage of food production.
Types of cross-contamination
There are three main sorts of cross-contamination: food-to-food,
equipment-to-food, and people-to-food.


Food-to-food :


Adding contaminated foods to non-contaminated foods leads to food-to-food
cross-contamination. this enables harmful bacteria to spread and populate.I


Raw, undercooked, or improperly washed food can harbor large amounts of
bacteria, like Salmonella, eubacteria, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus, E.
coli, and Listeria monocytogenes — all of which may harm your health if
consumed.




Foods that pose the very best risk of bacterial contamination include leafy
greens, bean sprouts, leftover rice, unpasteurized milk, soft cheeses, and deli
meats, also as raw eggs, poultry, meat, and seafood.



For example, adding unwashed, contaminated lettuce to a fresh salad can
contaminate the opposite ingredients. This was the case during a 2006 E. Coli
outbreak that affected 71 Taco Bell customers (8Trusted Source).
What’s more, leftovers kept within the fridge for too long may result in
bacterial overgrowth. Therefore, eat leftovers within 3–4 days and cook them to
proper temperatures. If you propose to combine leftovers with other foods, the
new meal shouldn’t be stored again as leftovers.


Equipment-to-food:

Equipment-to-food is one among the foremost common yet unrecognized sorts
of cross-contamination.
Bacteria can survive for long periods on surfaces like countertops, utensils,
cutting boards, storage containers, and food manufacturing equipment.
When equipment isn’t washed properly or unknowingly contaminated with bacteria,
it can transfer large volumes of harmful bacteria to food. this will happen at
any point during food production — both reception and in food manufacturing.




For example, a 2008 incident at a Canadian-based sliced meat company resulted in
the death of twenty-two customers thanks to listeria-contaminated meat slicers.
A common example of this occurring reception is using an equivalent chopping
board and knife to chop meat and vegetables, which may be harmful if the
vegetables are then consumed raw.
One study found that older participants were less likely to use soap and
water to wash their cutting boards after working with meat, while younger people
weren’t conscious of the risks of cross-contamination. Thus, more food safety
education seems to be needed across all age groups.
Finally, improper food preservation techniques can cause cross-contamination. In
2015, home-canned potatoes utilized in a salad made 22 potluck attendees sick
with botulism thanks to improper canning practices.


How to avoid cross-contamination
There are some ways to avoid cross-contamination.
Food purchasing and storage
Avoid purchasing food on the brink of its expiration date, unless you plan to
eat it directly. Store meat in a sealed container or bag on the rock
bottom shelf of the refrigerator to stop juices from leaking onto other foods.
Separate grocery bags for meat and eggs. Refrigerated leftover food within 2–3
days and cook it to proper temperatures.!

Food preparation

Wash your hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds after
touching meat, petting an animal, using the washroom, coughing or sneezing,
using your phone, or related instances. Wash your utensils, countertops, cutting
boards, and other surfaces with soap and warm water, especially when
handling meat. Use separate cutting boards for meat and vegetables. Use clean
sponges and dishcloths. Cook foods to their proper temperatures by employing
a food thermometer.


Finally, make certain to remain up so far with food recalls by visiting the
website of your country’s food and disease control panel, like the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within us.




SUMMARYProper food safety practices can significantly reduce your risk of
cross-contamination. Thoroughly wash your hands and surfaces, properly store
foods, and stay awake so far with food recalls.
