Question

greg filleted raw salmon on a cutting board on the prep table. then he washed and rinsed the table and equipment he used. after that, he sliced onions and peppers on the same cutting board on the prep table. before he left for the day, he washed, rinsed, and sanitized the prep table and equipment. did greg handle the food safely? why or why not?

Explanation:

Greg did not handle food safely. He used the same cutting board for raw salmon (which may have harmful bacteria) and then for onions and peppers without proper sanitization in between. Washing and rinsing is not sufficient to kill bacteria; sanitization (especially after raw meat/fish contact) is needed before using the board for other foods.

Answer:

No, Greg did not handle the food safely. He used the same cutting board for raw salmon (which may carry harmful bacteria) and then for onions and peppers without proper sanitization (only washing and rinsing) in between. Sanitization (not just washing - rinsing) is required after raw fish/meat contact before using the board for other foods to prevent cross - contamination.
