Personal HygieneQuestion 373 of 500
A butcher wears a slash-resistant mesh glove while breaking down primal cuts. What limit does the Food Code place on that glove?
a.It touches only food that has already been cooked
b.It touches only food that is packaged and sealed
c.It touches only food that is cooked afterward
d.It touches only food that is served the same day
Explanation
A slash-resistant glove used to protect the hands during cutting may be in direct contact only with food that is subsequently cooked, such as frozen food or a primal cut of meat, because the mesh cannot be cleaned and sanitized like a smooth surface. To handle ready-to-eat food, the butcher covers it with a smooth single-use glove.
