Personal HygieneQuestion 96 of 320
Which piece of jewelry is a food handler generally permitted to wear while preparing food?
a.Several rings with stones
b.A plain band ring with no stones or grooves
c.A wristwatch
d.A medical alert bracelet with a charm
Explanation
While preparing food, a food handler may wear a plain band ring (such as a wedding band) with no stones, but must remove watches, bracelets, and other rings, because jewelry can harbor pathogens, fall into food, or catch on equipment. Rings with stones and bracelets create crevices that are hard to clean. A plain smooth band is the only commonly allowed item.
