The correct answer is the meat should be put in a separate bag from everything else.
Since the chicken is still raw, it is advice able to put it in a different bag, so it does not contaminate other goods.
You cannot put all the goods in one bag. The chicken and mayonnaise do not have to be in the bag; however, since the mayonnaise is in a bottle and well covered, it can be put in the same bag. The store clerk might not notice the goods you bought and just put all in a bag.
It is better to go home and wash the meat and another vegetable in order to prevent contamination.
The meat should be placed in one bag while the rest of the items can be placed in another bag. It is important that the meat will not go with the rest of the items, especially since it is raw and uncooked. It might have germs that will contaminate the rest of the vegetables.
Aside from the packing of the items after purchasing from the grocery store, it is also important that you will clean all of the items carefully to ensure that you will be free from diseases that may be related to uncooked raw meat. Make sure that your raw meat is also cooked well before serving with the rest of your food items to avoid getting salmonella.
