During preparation, things like hands, utensils, and equipment such as cutting boards can become contaminated. During storage, bacteria from raw food can contaminate ready to eat or cooked food if these foods are not stored separately.]]> 2016-11-21 16:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/corneliustara/5ml6hoogbjik/wish/139144218 Video corneliustara https://padlet.com/corneliustara/5ml6hoogbjik/wish/139226158 2016-11-21 21:59:31 UTC https://padlet.com/corneliustara/5ml6hoogbjik/wish/139226158 Prevention of Cross Contamination- Do's and Don'ts corneliustara https://padlet.com/corneliustara/5ml6hoogbjik/wish/139227078 Do:

These bacteria are found on the skin, in sores, infected eyes and in the nose, throat, saliva and bowel of humans.

Salmonella
There are hundreds of different types of salmonella bacteria but not all are harmful to humans. They are found mainly in the intestines, bowels and feces of humans and other animals.

Clostridium
These bacteria are found in the soil and in the intestines of animals, including cattle, poultry, fish and humans. Food poisoning caused by clostridium bacteria is important to know about because these bacteria are common in the environment.

(2014) conleycassandra https://padlet.com/corneliustara/5ml6hoogbjik/wish/139387922 CDC lab workers mixed an avian influenza virus sample with a deadly virus called H5N1 and shipped the sample to a different la run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in May of 2014. The strain has killed millions of birds and over the last decade infected more than 600 people. No one appear to be affected since the sample was stored and shipped properly. The contamination most likely happened because there was a lack of an approved laboratory team-specific protocol for the work being done.

(2014) conleycassandra https://padlet.com/corneliustara/5ml6hoogbjik/wish/139391478 The CR tested over 300 raw chicken meats at different stores in the United States and found Salmonella bacteria in 97% of them. The CR was conducting their research around the same time when 3 Foster Farm chicken plants were linked to the outbreak of Salmonella. 389 people were infected, and 40 percent of them were hospitalized, double the usual percentage in most outbreaks linked to salmonella.
