Question

true or false: alcohol hand sanitizer is effective at removing food allergens from food handler hands. false true

Explanation:

Alcohol - based hand sanitizers are effective against many pathogens (like viruses and bacteria) but are not designed to remove food allergens. Food allergens are proteins, and hand - washing with soap and water is the recommended method to remove them as it can physically wash away the allergenic proteins. Alcohol sanitizers mainly work by denaturing microbial proteins (for germs) but do not have the mechanical action of removing large - molecular - weight allergenic proteins.

Answer:

False
