Personal HygieneQuestion 86 of 320
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?
a.Spray the gloves with sanitizer and continue
b.Remove the gloves, wash hands, and put on a new pair before returning to food
c.Wipe the gloves with a towel and continue
d.Turn the gloves inside out and reuse them
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; they cannot be wiped, sanitized, or reused. The hands must be washed between glove changes because the gloves themselves do not replace handwashing.
