Kitchen sponges and cross contamination in home kitchens
Mayo Clinic expert Dr. Pritish Tosh warns that dirty sponges spread germs and can cause food poisoning through cross contamination. A National Center for Biotechnology Information study found 33 percent of sponges had E coli and 67 percent had fecal coliforms. Use a clean towel each morning and run sponges through the dishwasher when possible. Ensure plenty of soap and water to wash surfaces and hands.
