Where have they been?
Your hands could have picked up dirt and bacteria from the
toilet, the bin, your pets or lots of other places. Raw protein
foods like chicken contain bacteria (which will be killed when
the food is cooked).
If you have handled raw
foods you could spread
bacteria from them to
other foods which will not
be cooked. This is called
cross-contamination.
What procedures may stop cross-contamination?

Keep it clean
Keep all surfaces clean by using
an antibacterial spray and a
disposable cloth.
Use separate chopping boards for
raw meat.
Clean knives that have been used
for meat before using them for

Wash up thoroughly to avoid
traces of food being left on plates
and utensils.
Leave washing up to drain

Hygiene is vital in all stages of food preparation.
