Question

8 multiple choice 1 point what is the main reason for food handlers to avoid scratching their scalps? causing toxic - metal poisoning getting food in their hair transferring a food allergen spreading pathogens to food

Explanation:

Scratching the scalp can transfer pathogens (such as bacteria, fungi etc.) from the scalp (which may have contaminants) to the hands. If food handlers then handle food without proper hand - washing, these pathogens can be spread to the food. Toxic - metal poisoning is related to metal contact with food (not scalp - scratching). Getting food in hair is a minor aesthetic issue. Transferring a food allergen is not the main concern compared to pathogen spread.

Answer:

spreading pathogens to food
