Achieving hygiene in the domestic kitchen: the effectiveness of commonly used cleaning procedures

Aims: To quantify the transmission of Salmonella and Campylobacter to hands, cloths, and hand‐ and food‐contact surfaces during the preparation of raw poultry in domestic kitchens, and to examine the impact on numbers of these bacteria of detergent‐based cleaning alone, or in conjunction with thorough rising.
