When storing or preparing food, remember to keep raw meat and poultry separate from cooked or pre-prepared foods and use separate utensils for them. In addition, always wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw meat and poultry.

For example: unpasteurized milk, soft cheeses and pâté can contain a type of bacteria called listeria that can cause miscarriage and premature labour; raw and uncooked cured meats (such as ham and prosciutto) and unwashed (soil-covered) vegetables may carry toxoplasma, an organism that can cause abnormalities in the baby. Liver contains high quantities of vitamin A; and raw meat, poultry and eggs can carry salmonella, a type of bacteria that causes food poisoning.
