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.
When bacteria from one food items gets onto another food item it is called cross-contamination.
The transfer of bacteria from raw to high-risk food is known as cross-contamination. This can occur through direct contact, contaminated surfaces, utensils, or hands, leading to the spread of harmful bacteria and potential foodborne illness. Proper food handling practices can help prevent cross-contamination and ensure food safety.
Depending upon the type of bacteria, the food it has been transferred to and the conditions, the bacteria could start to multiply. If they are spoilage organisms, they will make the food spoil faster. If they are pathogens, they could make someone sick when the food is consumed.
Mostly on the skin around your nose and mouth. Poor hygiene can transfer the bacteria to food where in can grow and cause food poisoning.
If you cough over food, bacteria from your respiratory tract can be spread onto the food. This can potentially transfer harmful bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, which can cause foodborne illnesses if consumed. It is important to practice good respiratory hygiene, such as covering your mouth when coughing, to prevent the spread of bacteria onto food.
Heat transfer is the transition of thermal energy from a heated item to a cooler item.

Yes, flies can carry bacteria on their bodies, legs, and mouthparts after coming into contact with contaminated food or surfaces. When flies land on food or surfaces, they can transfer these bacteria, potentially leading to foodborne illnesses in humans. It is important to practice good hygiene and food safety measures to prevent contamination.
Water doesn't necessarily preserve food. However, the canning process can preserve food. The boiling process can prevent any transfer of bacteria, fungus or microbes.
DNA technology will transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell.
Bacteria get their food by absorbing it. Many bacteria will photosynthesize just like plants do in order to get food.
Flies do not consume bacteria as food. However, they can inadvertently pick up bacteria on their bodies as they crawl on various surfaces. This can potentially transfer bacteria to other places they land on, including food items, which can contribute to the spread of disease.
