We have a relative by marriage that creates problems.  Eat prepackaged/takeout and food like roasted veggies or mashed potatoes straight from the cooking pot or tray. Skip fresh produce if they rinse berries and leave in colander in sink used for handwashing and dirty dishes.  ie washes raw egg hands in the sink over the berries.  Cuts cantelope with a knife that was out for hours sitting on a cutting board that also was used including for charcuterie.

People got sick one year from large undercooked turkey - followed time frames - thermometer.  Most passed on eating it - saw pink etc.  [/quote]

In all seriousness, if berries are in colander on one side of sink, and you wash hands on other side of sink with a faucet that swivels, what’s the problem? [/quote]

In general, nothing, but if you're rinsing raw chicken off of your hands, it sprays microscopic raw chicken germs EVERYWHERE in that sink.  Do a test- make sure your sink is totally dry, then swivel the faucet to one side, and wash your hands with soap and water on that side, then turn off the faucet.  Look around your sink.  Did tiny water sprays end up on the opposite side of the sink?  That's raw chicken on top of your berries.  [/quote]
