Overview: Cross contamination is the process of microorganism (and to a lesser extent chemical, physical, or allergenic) transference from one object to another resulting in a harmful effect. This transference can happen at any stage of food production, and can cause foodborne illness and other serious effects. Therefore, the identification of possible sources of cross contamination and their elimination or mitigation is a vital part of any facilities food safety plan. This presentation will cover how raw ingredients, equipment, and personnel can all be used to positively impact cross contamination.
