Are there different storage requirements for raw and ready-to-eat foods?
Yes. In addition to knowing and posting temperature requirements for your raw and ready-to-eat foods, be keenly aware of any contact or near-contact between the two. Always be aware that cross-contamination can occur via hands, utensils and equipment. Constantly wash, rinse and sanitize food contact equipment, especially if it touches both raw and ready-to-eat foods.
