Health Tip: Keeping Foods Separate During Grilling

It’s important to prevent cross-contamination of food while grilling.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics advises:

Make sure your grill is clean before you begin. Remove any leftover food particles.
Don’t put cooked food back on the same plate that held raw food. Wash with hot soapy water first, or use a different plate.
Use separate grilling utensils to turn food once it’s cooked, or thoroughly clean utensils after handling raw food.
Never use marinade that contained raw meat to baste cooked meat.
