Explanation:

Changing gloves before making food helps prevent cross - contamination of allergens from previous tasks. Using separate equipment for preparing food also prevents cross - contamination between allergen - containing and allergen - free foods. In the case of the server, serving the salad with almonds to a tree - nut allergic customer is dangerous, picking the almonds off may not fully remove allergens, so the best option is to bring the salad back to the kitchen and inform management to get a new, nut - free salad.
