Question

1. a food handler has finished grilling a chicken breast for a sandwich. what should the food handler do before touching the chicken, lettuce, tomato, and bun? wash hands and put on new gloves. put on new gloves. apply hand antiseptic. nothing.

Explanation:

To prevent cross - contamination, food handlers should wash hands and put on new gloves after handling raw meat (like the grilled chicken breast) before touching other food items such as lettuce, tomato, and bun. Handwashing removes potential pathogens from hands, and new gloves provide a clean barrier. Applying hand antiseptic alone is not sufficient as it does not remove physical contaminants, and doing nothing would risk contamination.

Answer:

Wash hands and put on new gloves.
