Courtesy of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and author Rachel Begun, MS, RDN we found a new article entitled “Preventing Cross-Contact at Home”.  This article isn’t really an article… it is more of a guide.

According to Ms. Begun “Cross-contact is when the food allergen or gluten is transferred to a food meant to be allergen or gluten-free. A key difference here is that offending food proteins remain dangerous after cooking.”

The article includes shopping, storage, cooking, washing and serving. You can find this comprehensive article on cross-contact at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
