Cross contamination means that bacteria from one kind of food has been transferred to another, by direct contact or by handling both foods without washing your hands in between, or by both foods touching the same surface, such as a countertop, without its being properly washed in between. An example of cross contamination would be raw meat being set on a countertop, then moved, and a raw lettuce set on the same countertop. Harmful bacteria in the meat, which will be killed when the meat is cooked, can be transferred to the lettuce, but since the lettuce will not be cooked, eating it can then make you sick.
