Microbial contaminants can enter foods from a variety of natural (including internal) and external sources. Classify the microbial contaminants as natural or external sources of contamination: Exposure to intestinal flora during the butchering process thereby contaminating beef. The same cutting board being used to cut poultry and then vegetables during meal preparation. Line cook not properly washing her hands. Bacterial endospores present in soil thereby contaminating spinach.
