Step 1: Avoid Cross-Contact

Thoroughly clean counters, cutting boards, knives, slicers, spoons, measuring cups, mixing bowls and other equipment before preparing a meal for someone with food allergies.
Keep separate sets of utensils for handling safe and unsafe foods. Some families use separate dishes, usually marked by different colors.

Step 2: Wash, Rinse, Sanitize

Wash: Prepare a solution of warm, soapy water. Use it with a single-use towel to clean all kitchen surfaces.
Rinse: Fill a spray bottle with fresh water. Spray areas that have been cleaned with the soapy water. Wipe down with a clean single-use towel.
Sanitize: Use single-use, sanitized towels or wipes to clean all kitchen surfaces. Allow surfaces to air dry.

Step 3: Prepare Ingredients Safely

Wash your hands properly.
After handwashing, use non-latex gloves to handle safe foods.
Use designated tools and equipment to prepare safe foods.
Prepare meals for people with food allergies before other family meals.
Serve safe foods separately. If not serving right away, cover and keep the meal warm in an oven on low heat until it is served.
