The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, a division of the US Food and Drug Administration gives this advice to pregnant women, however, it applies to everyone.
If you think you already are aware of safe food practices, you might find something here that is new to you. For example:
# If possible, use one cutting board for raw meat, poultry, and seafood and another one for fresh fruits and vegetables. If two cutting boards aren't available, prepare fruits and vegetables first, and put them safely out of the way. Wash the cutting board thoroughly with soap and hot water. Then, prepare the raw meat, poultry, or seafood. Follow by washing the cutting board again.
# Marinades used on raw meat, poultry, or seafood can contain harmful bacteria. Don't reuse these marinades on cooked foods - unless you boil them before applying.
