It's possible!: There are many possible pathogens in raw meat which could contaminate a surface and your chocolate in this way, including Toxoplasmosis, Escherichia coli, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes. Food hygiene is always very important. I remain available to consult with you on HealthTap. Have a nice day!
