So you’ve used your cutting board to cut food. What do you do now? You clean it, of course! Foods on cutting boards are often raw, and raw food can be contaminated. Once the board has been contaminated, it can cross-contaminate other food that is put on the board … until the board is cleaned. Any raw food can be contaminated. Certainly chicken is always cited as a big carrier of bacteria until it is cooked; you never want to use a cutting board for raw chicken and then use the same board for other food without cleaning it. However, any raw food can be contaminated; there was a 2013 e. coli outbreak in 39 states caused by contaminated raw spinach. Keep Your Board Dry The best way to keep your board free of contaminants is to keep it dry.
