Answer:

The answer is Raw sausage from his hands can contaminate the pancakes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is what is known as cross-contamination, which is defined as the process by which food is in contact with other foods that are cooked or not and that eventually become contaminated by the exchange of foreign substances. This type of contamination can be direct or indirect. Direct cross contamination is when food is in contact and contaminates each other (an example of this is cooked food that contaminates raw food) and indirect cross contamination is when contaminated kitchen items are in contact with raw or cooked food . In this case, the raw sausage can end up contaminating the pancakes.
