What is the problem with storing raw ground beef above prepped salads?

  1. Potential spoilage

  2. Increased shelf life

  3. Enhanced taste

  4. Cross-contamination

The correct answer is: Cross-contamination

Storing raw ground beef above prepped salads poses a risk of cross-contamination. Cross-contamination occurs when harmful bacteria from one food item are transferred to another, leading to foodborne illness. Raw meat, such as ground beef, can contain pathogens that may be harmful if consumed when transferred to ready-to-eat items like salads. To prevent foodborne illness, it is essential to store raw meats separately from ready-to-eat foods such as salads to avoid any potential health risks.
