Personal HygieneQuestion 377 of 500
Where does the Food Code allow employees to eat a meal or use tobacco products?
a.At the far end of the cook line during a slow hour
b.In the dry storage room away from open containers
c.In designated areas where contamination cannot result
d.At the dish machine while the final rinse is running
Explanation
Employees may eat, drink, or use tobacco products only in designated areas where contamination of exposed food, clean equipment, utensils, linens, and unwrapped single-service articles cannot result. A quiet corner of the cook line, a dry storage room, and the dish machine all fail that test regardless of how slow the shift is.
