Question

a separate handwashing basin in a food preparation area is important because:
possible answers:
a) it prevents contamination of employee uniforms
b) it encourages employees to wash their hands
c) it prevents contamination of food or utensils
d) all of the above

Explanation:

A separate handwashing basin in food prep areas is key to avoiding cross-contamination. If hands (potentially with pathogens or dirt) are washed in basins used for food/utensils, contaminants could transfer. Option A is incorrect because uniform contamination isn’t the main focus here; option B is not the primary reason (encouragement isn’t the core purpose of separation). Thus, the correct answer is C.

Answer:

C) It prevents contamination of food or utensils
