Slicing is also a risk factor in cross-contamination of RTE products, as blades are able to disseminate high numbers of Salmonella. RTE products are frequently sold in delicatessens and fast-food restaurants, where stainless steel blade retail slicers are commonly used in meal preparations. Most likely underreported, crosscontamination scenarios involving equipment and utensils such as boards, knives, and slicers are likely to occur when good hygiene practices are not applied by personnel at retail levels.

Food ingredients like spices, which are applied to RTE foods after the final food manufacturing pathogen reduction step, account for at least 70% of foodborne illnesses (CDC, 2010). Contamination of spices with pathogens is significant and may contribute to the foodborne illness burden. This is due to the long shelf-life of spices and the ability of pathogens to survive in spices for long periods of time. Salmonella can survive in dried spices and other low-moisture foods for prolonged periods.
