Foodborne IllnessQuestion 30 of 320
Which set of symptoms requires a food handler to be excluded or restricted and reported to the manager?
a.A minor paper cut on a covered finger
b.Mild headache and tiredness
c.Dry skin and a stuffy nose
d.Vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever, or an infected wound
Explanation
Food handlers must report to the manager and be restricted or excluded when they have vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, a sore throat with fever, or an infected open wound, as these signal pathogens that can contaminate food. Headache, tiredness, dry skin, or a properly bandaged minor cut do not by themselves require exclusion.
