Bacteria Control

We have all been guilty of this common simple act of washing raw chicken in the kitchen sink.  This helps to rinse off the slime on the meat and most people believe they are cleaning the chicken as well when rinsing it under the faucet water.  This however creates an even bigger problem of cross contamination.  Because of water splatter bacteria is spread onto more surfaces creating an environment that is conducive to possible outbreaks.  To lower your risk of bacterial infection from poultry, make sure to cook any meat thoroughly.  Rinsing with water does not kill the bacteria.  Check out the link below for more information.
