Is it safe to brine pork and poultry together?

I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this.

I'm short on fridge space after Thanksgiving, and am considering combining a 4lb. pork loin with some chicken thighs in the same container. (Different timings of course.)

I appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

I wouldn't do it. No science behind that, but I avoid cross-contamination.

Keep them separate. Ziploc bags are great for this.

Took your advice(s). Better safe than sorry.

Thanks!
