Is it sanitary to use the kitchen sponge clean after preparing raw chicken?

It is not sanitary to use the same sponge to clean after preparing raw chicken and then use it to clean other surfaces in the kitchen. Raw chicken can contain harmful bacteria such as Salmonella and Campylobacter, which can contaminate other foods and surfaces if not properly cleaned. To ensure food safety, it is important to use separate sponges or cloths for cleaning after handling raw meat, poultry, or seafood, and to wash them thoroughly with hot soapy water or replace them after each use. Additionally, it is important to disinfect frequently touched surfaces in the kitchen, such as countertops and cutting boards, to prevent cross-contamination.
