Cross contamination is a key factor in food borne illness (food poisoning), and it has four common sources:- food, people, equipment and work surfaces.
the transfer of micro-organisms from one place to another
Im sure its when you get raw meat and cooked meat stored together (which you shouldn't), and the cross contamination is what can come from it like e coli, salmanela etc (dont know how to spell them, can you tell)!
