Stop contaminating your food with chopping boards, Aproko Doctor warns
Nigerian influencer Doctor identified as the Aproko Doctor tells Nigerians to be more careful when preparing their meals. He demonstrated how using chopping boards could contaminate one's food if not used appropriately.
According to him, using the same chopping board to slice or cut different things could transfer germs into your food that could potentially ruin your health. For instance, a chopping board used to cut meats shouldn't be used to shred vegetables unless it's been thoroughly washed. That's because the meat contains more germs and would certainly be boiled to kill any form of contaminated organisms. However, a contaminated vegetable wouldn't be cooked at the same temperature as meat. So, people need to be extremely cautious about cutting them on the same chopping board.
Health-wise, it is advised to have up to two chopping boards, where one would be used for animal and see products, while the other one would be used to chop veggies.
