Do Your Best Not To Cross Contaminate
You know you don’t want to cross-contaminate meat products, but many people don’t think of this when it comes to the big 8 of food allergies. For example, you don’t want to use one spoon to mix eggs and then a mixture of dairy-free food for a person with egg allergies. Even if you’re careful, bits of the egg can get into the other meal and be disastrous for a person with dairy allergies.
You also don’t want to cross-contact an ingredient before you serve it, by an allergen from a different product, or containers without washing them thoroughly. You might feel it’s best to use separate storage containers, mainly if you use plastic and warmed up the meal in the container.
