On unwashed hands. Handle raw food, then handle cooked food.

On unwashed implements. (knife, fork, chopping board etc.) Chop raw food, then chop cooked food.

By placing raw food above cooked food in a storage area ( EG Fridge) so that juice, blood etc drip on the cooked food below.

By using a scrubbing brush to clean with, spraying the bacteria on the dirty item all over the place while scrubbing. (A nail brush should never, EVER, be used in a kitchen!)

Flies.
