Restaurants and commercial kitchens get ratings for how sanitary their cooking spaces are, but homeowners? Not so much. “A lot of people make mistakes at home and don’t even know it,” says Rob Acquista, a public health inspector in Columbus, Ohio (who inspected our Editor-in-Cheif’s kitchen a few years ago). That’s probably because the people who run kitchens and grocery stores have to go through training courses to make sure they understand the FDA codes for how to limit cross-contamination and keep critters out of their food preparation areas, but we regular homeowners just do whatever we’re used to doing.
As you can imagine, Acquista sees mistakes everywhere he goes — something that he admits could make him an unpopular dinner guest. “I don’t say anything with my friends, but when I’m with my family, I’ll give them reminders — hey, I don’t want to get sick!” says Acquista. So we grilled him on the biggest issues he sees in home kitchens.
Here are the 10 scariest places in every kitchen — and what you can do to fix them.
