From this meat it can be contaminated, for example, if you are preparing raw chicken and you are preparing a batch of vegetables on the side that you are going to eat raw. The chicken is not going to make you sick because you are going to cook it, but the raw vegetable that you contaminated through cross contamination is going to make you sick. It is a very common mechanism,” he adds.
