Treatment & Prevention Options For Listeria

Cleaning Cooking Area

Cleaning the cooking area is also an essential step in maintaining a clean and hygienic area. Though we sometimes forget to clean as we go, wiping up spills and mess greatly reduces the risk of cross-contamination. Cutting boards and knives should be cleaned immediately after coming into contact with raw meat and dairy products. Measuring cups should also be rinsed with soapy water in between measuring different ingredients. Using antibacterial spray on all surfaces and taking care to scrub even the toughest corners will also prevent the gradual build-up of harmful bacteria. Never use dirty utensils, plates, or bowls, and be sure to check all serving utensils before using them to dish out food.
