Remington Rose · Answer 1

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The cross contamination can be defined as contamination which is caused due to the contamination of the other food kept aside this food.

A customer who eat lettuce gets disease by the E. coli bacteria due to cross contamination, this is because the lettuce was cut on the same board where previously raw meat was cut.

Raw meat contains E. coli which gets transmitted to the lettuce and then it was contaminated by raw meat.
