Keep frozen fruit, its packaging, and its serving utensils away from raw meat, poultry, seafood, and their juices. Wash hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, and clean food-contact surfaces and utensils with hot, soapy water between tasks. Follow the package directions: washing is not a guaranteed way to remove pathogens, and freezing does not reliably kill them.
Keep frozen fruit separate from raw animal foods
Cross-contamination happens when germs transfer from contaminated food, hands, utensils, or surfaces to another food. The most important household control is to keep fruit that will be eaten without cooking away from raw meat, poultry, seafood, and their juices. The FDA advises keeping raw animal foods and the utensils used with them separate from fruits and vegetables eaten raw.

- Set the fruit and its clean serving utensil on a clean area, not on a board or counter that held raw meat or seafood.
- Use separate cutting boards where possible. If you use a shared board, wash it with soap and hot water between tasks. The FDA also advises washing dishes, utensils, and countertops this way.
- Plastic and other nonporous cutting boards can go through the dishwasher after use, according to the FDA.
FDA guidance on produce safety and separation
Wash hands and equipment before handling the fruit
Wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before and after preparing produce. Clean utensils and surfaces before they touch the fruit, and wash them between raw-food preparation and fruit handling. This matters whether you are portioning berries into a bowl, adding fruit to a smoothie, or returning a portion to the freezer.

Should you wash frozen fruit?
Follow the package instructions. FDA guidance says produce labeled prewashed or ready-to-eat can be used without additional washing. Extra handling can expose it to unclean hands, utensils, or surfaces.
FDA’s general produce advice is to wash produce under running water, but it does not establish a separate validated rinse procedure for frozen fruit. Washing can reduce bacteria but does not eliminate them. Do not use soap, detergent, or commercial produce wash on fruit. If the package gives preparation directions, follow them rather than assuming that rinsing is required or makes the fruit safe.

FDA advice on cleaning fruits and vegetables
Do not rely on freezing to make fruit safe
Freezing is not a consumer pathogen-kill step. The FDA says Listeria monocytogenes does not grow at freezer temperatures but can survive them. FDA has also documented hepatitis A and norovirus outbreaks associated with fresh and frozen berries. Household separation and cleaning help prevent new transfer; they cannot correct contamination already present in a product.
Do these 3 things before closing this tab:
1Repair Windows errors before they cause bigger problems2Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitches3Clear out junk files and repair common Windows errorsThe FDA’s berry safety strategy describes upstream prevention factors such as worker hygiene, sanitary facilities, and controls against cross-contamination during growing and processing. No frozen-fruit-specific contamination probability is established in the cited consumer guidance and strategy summary.

What to do if the fruit is recalled or suspected contaminated
- Stop using the product and keep it separate from other food and food-contact equipment.
- Follow the recall notice or supplier’s instructions for return or disposal.
- Consider what the product may have touched. Clean and sanitize affected food-contact surfaces and utensils, then wash your hands.
The FDA’s outbreak guidance says to isolate recalled produce from foods and equipment, assess possible cross-contamination, and follow supplier return or disposal instructions. Its cleanup advice, including any sanitizer dilution, applies to the described outbreak context; do not treat it as a universal routine. For any sanitizer, follow its label directions and cautions.
