"Most foodborne illnesses can be avoided if you take the following precautionary steps: CLEAN: Always wash your food, hands, counters, and cooking tools. Wash hands in warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds. Do this before and after touching food. Wash cutting boards, dishes, forks, spoons, knives, and counter tops with hot soapy water. Do this after working with each food item. Rinse fruits and veggies well. Clean the lids on canned goods before opening. SEPARATE (Keep Apart): Keep raw foods apart from other raw foods. Germs can spread from one food to another. Keep raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs away from other foods in the shopping cart, bags, and the refrigerator. Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods unless first brought to a boil. Use a separate cutting board and utensils for raw meats, and a designated plate and clean utensils for raw foods. This prevents cross-contamination."
