Do not leave meat or dairy products on the counter or in the car after shopping. Put foods into the refrigerator as soon as possible. Raw meats that are wrapped for display often leak. Preparing food Always wash hands before you begin to prepare food, and after handling raw meat, poultry or seafood. Use warm water, soap and paper towels.
Antibacterial soap is a good idea.
Keep your kitchen, utensils and dishes clean. Sanitize countertops with antibacterial cleaner. Do not re-use wash cloths after wiping countertops, especially after cleaning up raw meat juice. Do not use the same dish before and after you cook meat. Wash fruits and vegetables under running water.
