A cook wearing single-use gloves takes out the trash, comes back, and starts plating salads with the same gloves. What is the correct practice?

Explanation

Single-use gloves must be discarded and hands washed whenever they become contaminated, such as after taking out trash, and a fresh pair put on before handling food. Gloves are single-use only: the sanitizer kept for food-contact surfaces does not make a soiled glove safe, a wiping cloth just spreads the contamination over the glove, and turning a glove inside out produces no clean side at all — it puts the soiled surface against the hand and the hand's own soil onto the salads. The hands must be washed between glove changes because the gloves themselves do not replace handwashing.
