Editor's Notes
Bacteria can be spread throughout the kitchen and get onto hands, cutting boards, utensils, counter tops and food
Poor personal hygiene contributes to approximately 50% of all foodborne illness outbreaks.
Cross-contamination can occur when bacteria are spread from one food product to another
This is especially common when handling raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs
The key is to keep these foods - and their juices - away from ready-to-eat foods
Cooking kills bacteria by breaking down their cell walls and destroying enzymes.
Food is safely cooked when it reaches a high enough internal temperature to kill the harmful bacteria that cause illness
Food can be contaminated by:
Animals – manure, saliva or disease microorganisms within the animals
Humans – from infected hands that touch the food we eat
Soil – contaminated by animal droppings, which can be transferred to the crops that we eat and also by normal soil residents
Water – contaminated by animal droppings, which can be transferred to humans when the water is consumed or sprayed on crops
