Personal HygieneQuestion 105 of 320
At a salad station, which method best complies with the no-bare-hand-contact rule when building ready-to-eat salads all shift?
a.Wearing single-use gloves and changing them between tasks, plus using tongs where practical
b.Washing hands once and then using bare hands all shift
c.Using the same gloves for four hours regardless of tasks
d.Rinsing bare hands in the prep sink between salads
Explanation
The best compliance is to use single-use gloves (or utensils like tongs) and change gloves between tasks, when torn or soiled, and at least every four hours, keeping bare hands off the ready-to-eat greens. Washing once then using bare hands violates the no-bare-hand rule. Keeping the same gloves through task changes or rinsing bare hands in a prep sink both allow contamination.
