Here's proof that washing raw chicken can splatter unwanted bacteria around your kitchen.
"A lot of people prepare their salads around the sink, so it's cross-contaminated," said Mindy Brashears, deputy undersecretary for food safety at the USDA.
The researchers recruited 300 people to prepare chicken and a salad in test kitchens at N.C. State. Some participants watched food safety videos ahead of time that discouraged rinsing raw chicken. Most of those participants followed the advice. "How many times have you been peeling a vegetable and drop it into the sink, and you just pick it up and go on," Brashears said."At that point, you've contaminated your vegetables."Some of the participants"washed" their chicken by soaking it in the sink, either with water only, or adding soap, vinegar or lemon juice.
Meg Kirchner, a PhD candidate in food science and microbiology at NC State, swabs the area around the sink to look for contamination."What surprised me most was just how much food preparation happens in and around a sink after someone washes chicken," he said. Often participants rinsed lettuce in a colander in the sink where they'd just had raw chicken.
