Lesson Overview In this lesson, we will: define cross-contamination; explain the guidelines to prevent cross-contamination; and discuss the best kitchen practices against cross-contamination.
More on Cross-contamination Cross-contamination happens when the HACCP guidelines are not strictly followed. Recall the principles from the first lesson. Direct cross-contamination happens when an allergen is applied then removed from a dish. On the other hand, indirect cross-contamination happens when the allergen is not applied to the dish. We advise that you remember the acronym SAFE to avoid committing direct or indirect cross-contamination. Staff As part of the staff, you must always adhere to your responsibilities, follow our guidelines, and observe good personal hygiene. Areas Our company areas must be kept clean with proper designations. For instance, food preparation areas should be kept separate from disposal areas. Food Raw food must be physically separated from cooked food and each classification must further be segregated and properly stored. Equipment Use separate equipment for handling raw and cooked food. Also, follow colour-coding.
