1) Always wash anything that comes in contact with raw meats with hot soapy water. This includes your hands, knives or other tools , counter tops and cutting boards.

2) Use separate cutting boards for meat only and produce only. Best not to use wood boards for meat as germs can stay in the wood easier.

3) Make sure that raw meats are wrapped properly and set in a container when stored in refrigerator to prevent meat juices from dripping onto shelving or other foods below it.

Why are inoculating loop and needle flamed before and after use?

The heat from the flame destroys any bacteria on the wire loop. This prevents any transfer or cross contamination by unwanted or unintended bacteria. Put simply, this action thoroughly cleans the innoculating loop. To correctly perform this action, the loop is passed UP the column of flame from the bottom, where it is (relatively) cooler, to the TOP where the fully oxygenated gas is at its hottest temperature. Allow the loop to glow red hot for a few (2-3) seconds and then remove it from the flame. Allow a few seconds for the air to cool the loop, and it is again ready for its next use. Note: Small sparks may be seen to erupt as any bacterial cells burst into flame.
