TheUSDArecommends washing your hands in warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds after handling raw meat.
However, this is unlikely to occur if you follow our recipe and your slow cookers manual.

This paste is whisked into the cooking liquid in a saucepan.
Be sure to whisk the gravy well to prevent lumps.
