Food handler to food contamination
To reduce the risk of contaminating food while you’re handling it you must:
- use tongs, plastic gloves, food bags or wrapping paper to pick up items
- carry food in containers or trays
- never use your fingers to test food
- use cutlery only once for tasting food
- not lick your fingers or blow into bags
This is Chapter Three, Part Eleven in a series of articles broadly similar to the course offered by the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health for its Food Hygiene Certificate.
