Foodborne IllnessQuestion 30 of 320
Which set of symptoms requires a food handler to be excluded or restricted and reported to the manager?
a.Mild headache and tiredness
b.Dry skin and a stuffy nose
c.Vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever, or an infected wound
d.A minor paper cut on a covered finger
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.
