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.Rinsing bare hands in the prep sink between salads
b.Washing hands once and then using bare hands all shift
c.Wearing single-use gloves and changing them between tasks, plus using tongs where practical
d.Using the same gloves for four hours regardless of tasks

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.
