Keeping raw and cooked food separate reduces which risk?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cross-contamination
Raw foods, especially raw meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood, may carry harmful microorganisms. If they touch cooked food, utensils, hands, or surfaces, those microorganisms can transfer to food that will not receive further cooking. Separating them prevents cross-contamination and reduces food-borne illness risk, so A is correct.
