keep food separate
“Separate raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs from ready-to-eat foods. Use separate cutting boards and keep raw meat away from other foods in your shopping cart and refrigerator,” the CDC advises. Chicken, for example, is one of the main responsible for infection with salmonella bacteria, which causes foodborne illness in humans. In addition to being well-cooked, it should stay away from salads, for example, to avoid cross-contamination.
