Who is the Cross-Contamination poster for?

Cross-Contamination belongs to the Kitchen section rather than to a school year, because food is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning food safety can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Cross-Contamination poster?

Separate boards, separate cloths, separate hands. Bacteria travel by contact. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Cross-Contamination belongs on the wall where that food work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What size does the Cross-Contamination poster print at?

Cross-Contamination is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.

Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Cross-Contamination loses nothing.Printing guide
