Food security tips

Separate: Don’t cross-contaminate.

• Raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs can spread germs to ready-to-eat food unless you keep them separate.
• When grocery shopping, keep raw meat, poultry, seafood, and their juices away from other foods.
• Keep raw or marinating meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs separate from all other foods in the refrigerator. Store raw meat, poultry, and seafood in sealed containers or packages so the juices don’t leak onto other foods.
• Use one cutting board or plate for raw meat, poultry, and seafood and a separate cutting board or plate for produce, bread, and other foods that won’t be cooked.
• Do not wash raw meat, poultry, or eggs. Washing these foods can actually spread germs because juices may splash onto your sink or counters.
