Question

1. if you have an infected cut on your hand, you should only handle food if:

a) you wear cloth gloves.
b) you apply hand sanitizer.
c) you do not handle ready-to-eat foods.
d) you cover the injury with a bandage and a single-use latex-free glove.

Explanation:

Food safety guidelines require preventing pathogen transfer from infected cuts to food. Cloth gloves (a) are porous and unsanitary; hand sanitizer (b) doesn’t block physical contamination; avoiding ready-to-eat foods (c) is incomplete. The correct practice is covering the cut with a bandage and a single-use glove (d) to create a barrier.
