A food worker prepares raw chicken and then cuts tomatoes for a salad. Which action best prevents cross-contamination?
Correct answer: B. Use clean utensils and a separate preparation surface
- A. Rinse the same knife briefly before cutting tomatoes
- B. Use clean utensils and a separate preparation surface
- C. Place the tomatoes beside the raw chicken while preparing them
- D. Wipe the knife on a cloth and continue preparing the salad
Explanation
Separate clean utensils and preparation surfaces prevent organisms from raw poultry reaching ready-to-eat food. Brief rinsing or wiping may leave pathogens on the knife, and placing foods together increases the chance of contamination.
