the cook did not wear reusable gloves while handling the raw ground beef and hamburger buns.
the cook did not clean and sanitize the gloves before handling the hamburger buns.
the cook did not wash hands before putting on the same gloves to slice the hamburger buns.
the cook did not wash hands and put on new gloves before slicing the hamburger buns.

Explanation:

When handling raw meat (raw ground beef) and then ready - to - eat items (hamburger buns), single - use gloves should be changed. Also, hands should be washed before putting on new gloves. Reusing the same gloves that were used for raw meat on ready - to - eat items can cause cross - contamination. Reusable gloves are not appropriate for single - use tasks like this. Gloves (single - use) are not cleaned and sanitized; they are discarded. Washing hands before putting on new gloves is a necessary step to prevent contamination.

Answer:

The cook did not wash hands and put on new gloves before slicing the hamburger buns.
