Cross-Contamination & AllergensQuestion 33 of 319
A cook finishes slicing raw chicken on a cutting board and now needs to cut tomatoes for a salad. What is the proper next step?
a.Wipe the board with a dry towel and continue
b.Flip the board over and cut tomatoes on the other side
c.Wash, rinse, and sanitize the board (or switch to a clean board) and use a clean knife
d.Spray sanitizer on the chicken juices and cut tomatoes on top
Explanation
Switching from raw poultry to ready-to-eat produce requires either a clean dedicated board and knife or a full wash-rinse-sanitize of the equipment. A dry wipe or surface spray does not remove pathogen-laden residue.
