An employee who was excluded for vomiting and diarrhea wants to return to work. Under the Food Code, when can a food handler generally return after these symptoms?

An employee excluded for vomiting or diarrhea may generally return when symptom-free for at least 24 hours, or with approval from the regulatory authority or a medical practitioner, depending on the pathogen. Returning while still symptomatic or after only two hours risks spreading pathogens such as Norovirus. A blanket 30-day exclusion is not the standard for simple vomiting/diarrhea without a specific diagnosis.
