To support proper handwashing, which sign is the Food Code widely associated with requiring at handwashing sinks used by food employees?
a.A menu posted where employees can read it
b.A 'No smoking' sign taken from the dining room wall
c.A poster praising the crew for good attendance
d.A sign notifying employees to wash their hands
Explanation
The Food Code calls for a sign or poster at handwashing sinks used by food employees, reminding them to wash their hands before returning to work. This reinforces the handwashing culture that prevents fecal-oral pathogen transmission. A menu, a no-smoking sign moved from the dining room, and a morale poster all put words above the sink without giving the handwashing reminder the Code asks for.
