Cross contamination occurs when one object becomes contaminated by either direct or indirect contact with another object which is already contaminated. 

Cross contamination has occurred when:

  • using the same unwashed gloves to handle different meats.
  • using the same knife or chopping board to cut both raw and ready-to-eat foods
  • using the hand wash basin for defrosting food or placing dirty utensils and equipment 
  • storing food uncovered or on the floor of the fridge or freezer.
