Tech/Engineering - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / Cleaning and sanitization
Italian term or phrase: contaminazione
Nello specifico è in realtà un sinonimo di "sporco" nelle macchine per la pulizia industriale:
"Le macchine di lavaggio realizzate nei primi anni 80 hanno performato piuttosto bene nel settore delle contaminazioni fresche (industria delle macellazione, produzione salumi freschi, lavaggio cassette prodotti freschi,…) ma spesso erano insufficienti per contaminazioni complesse come quelle polimerizzate, disidratate, carbonizzate o comunque modificate. "

residue
Explanation:
In Italiano, come in Francese, la parola "contaminazione" non a sempre una connotazione di "pericolo biologico" come la interpresto in Inglese (ma forse mi sbaglio).
Tuttavia vedo che l'asker fa chiaramente riferimento a "SPORCO"
Quello che capisco qui è che, dopo lavaggio, vi sono dei residui di cibo ancora presenti. Essi sonno "igienicamente" inaccettabili, ma non “biologicamente pericolosi”. Quindi non userei la parola “contamination” che fa pensare a agenti patogeni o prodotti chimici, ma piuttosto semplicemente a “residues”.

neutral  liz askew: how could you have a fresh residue sector though??sorry I still don't get it, as they are talking about a "settore" here, which I thought = sector. How are you going to fit "sector" in then?? out of interest.../Fresh residue?? seems odd to me:)

  -> for instance on a blade; you cut one type of meat, then another one. The asker is speaking about "sporco" (dirty) Liz.//I don't see any problem with "settore" Liz
agree  K Donnelly: It seems to me that the author is referring to the cleaning performance with respect to food processing residues.
18 mins
  -> Many thanks K.// We have the same interpretation.
agree  dandamesh: il senso è quello che dici tu ma sarebbe meglio parlare di "food residues", altrimenti potrebbe essere intertretato come residuei negli alimenti, tipo pesticidi. La seconda frase è più complessa e va ristrutturata, forse con deposits

cross contamination


Explanation:
La contaminazione crociata è la presenza non voluta di sostanze tossiche o microrganismi negli alimenti. La contaminazione crociata è il trasferimento di batteri patogeni da un alimento ad un altro attraverso una matrice diversa da quella alimentare (utensili, attrezzature, le mani).

Cross Contamination is when we carry bacteria from one object to another object; from one object to a person; or from person to person. We can cross contaminate our food by failing to wash our hands before we cook and Failing to use separate plates for cooked and uncooked food
