Question

perhaps the most common vehicle of contamination in the food industry is ______

• clothing, and so it should be dry cleaned often
• hair, and so it should be kept cut short and clean
• jewelry, and so it should be sterilized weekly
• hands, and so they should be washed often

Explanation:

In the food industry, hands are frequently in contact with food and can easily transfer contaminants (like bacteria from unwashed hands). Washing hands often is a key hygiene practice to prevent contamination. Clothing dry - cleaning, hair length/cleaning, and jewelry sterilization are not as primary or common for food contamination as hand hygiene.

Answer:

D. Hands, and so they should be washed often
