Question

multiple choice 1 point which is an example of cross - contamination? slicing watermelon and cantaloupe on the same board cutting two types of lettuce on the same board using the same cutting board to cut parsley and cilantro prepping raw chicken and lettuce on the same board

Explanation:

Cross - contamination occurs when bacteria or other microorganisms are transferred from one food item to another. Raw chicken can carry harmful bacteria like Salmonella. Cutting raw chicken and lettuce on the same board can transfer these bacteria to the lettuce, which is often eaten raw. The other options involve cutting similar types of produce or using the same board for non - raw meat and produce, which pose less risk of cross - contamination compared to raw meat and ready - to - eat produce.

Answer:

Prepping raw chicken and lettuce on the same board
