Cutting Boards Dirty Truth

Be Careful with Cutting Boards

Wood cutting board raw meat

When juices from raw meats or germs from unclean objects accidentally touch cooked or ready-to-eat foods (such as fruits or salads), cross-contamination occurs. If not cleaned correctly, the board can harbor harmful bacteria, especially if they have cracks or deep cuts.

Special Precaution

After cutting raw meat on your board, clean thoroughly with hot soapy water, then disinfect with chlorine bleach or other sanitizing solution, and rinse with clean water.
