The food handler should remove the wrapping and sanitize the outside of the container to eliminate any traces of salmonella present on the container.

Explanation:

The liquid secreting from raw chicken or meat often contains 'salmonella' which can prove unhealthy if consumed. It can cause diarrhea and other similar diseases. Any food with the possibility of the presence of salmonella should be avoided or should be cooked well to eliminate salmonella content before consuming.
