Bagging Tip 2

Meats and Vegetables

Never put meat and fresh produce together in the same bag. This can cause cross contamination which does cause illness. Also you should package the same types of meats with each other. For instance keeping beef with beef, pork with pork, and especially chicken with chicken. Never put anything together in a bag with chicken because it can cause salmonella and many other diseases.

 Keeping produce together in the same bags will help keep the produce fresh and safe from other foods that could smash or bruise the fruits and vegetables.
