Personal HygieneQuestion 99 of 320
Which of the following situations does NOT by itself require a food handler to wash their hands?
a.After using the restroom
b.After touching the face, hair, or body
c.After putting on a clean apron over already-clean, freshly washed hands
d.After handling raw chicken
Explanation
Handwashing is required after using the restroom, touching the body or hair, handling raw animal foods, coughing or sneezing, taking out trash, and before starting food work, among others. Simply tying on a clean apron over hands that are already clean and freshly washed does not, by itself, contaminate the hands. All the other options involve clear contamination that demands washing.
