Health Tip: Separate Foods

Raw meat can spread germs to other foods, so it’s best to store and cook different foods separately.

The foodsafety.gov website suggests:

Designate separate cutting boards; one just for produce, and another for meat, poultry, seafood and eggs. Use separate plates as well, and always wash the plates after use.
At the grocery, put poultry, eggs, seafood and meat in separate plastic bags away from the rest of the food.
Keep poultry, meat, seafood and eggs in these separate bags inside the refrigerator or freezer.
Store eggs in the carton in the main part of the refrigerator, rather than in the door.
