How Would You Ensure That Direct Contamination Of Food Items Didn't Take Place?

To prevent direct contamination of food items, I would implement strict hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing and the use of gloves by all food handlers. Additionally, I would ensure that raw and cooked foods are stored and prepared separately to avoid cross-contamination. Regular training on food safety protocols and maintaining clean work surfaces and equipment are also essential. Finally, I would conduct routine audits to ensure compliance with these standards.
