Infected Wounds or Boils

• If the wound or boil is located on the hand, finger, or wrist, cover it with an impermeable cover like a finger cot or bandage. Impermeable means that liquid from the wound cannot pass through the cover. Once covered, place a single-use glove over the cover.

Guidelines for Preventing Cross-Contamination Between Food

• Separate raw meat, poultry, and seafood from unwashed and ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables. Do this during storage, preparation, holding, and display to prevent cross-contamination.

• Before thawing it under refrigeration.
• Before or immediately after thawing it under running water.

If you are packaging fish using a reduced-oxygen packaging method, the fish must:

• Be frozen before, during, and after packaging.
