Detailed explanation-1: -If hair is not tied back or covered, it is more likely to fall into food and staff are more likely to touch their hair. This can spread bacteria to food, especially if it is unwrapped.
Detailed explanation-2: -When concentrating on their clothing, safe food handlers: Wear clean plain shirts with no pockets, or a clean uniform, including a clean apron for extra protection. Never wear rings, watches, or bracelets, and that includes medical bracelets. (The only approved ring is a plain band.)
Detailed explanation-3: -Aprons are a food safety tool but like any tool, they need to be used effectively to work-they need to be clean, changed frequently, removed before leaving the kitchen or using the restroom, and should be worn over clean clothes. Disposable aprons are also acceptable in most cases.
Detailed explanation-4: -Jewelry are not only potential physical hazards but they can also hide dirt and bacteria. Food handlers should not wear earrings, watches, or rings. The only jewelry permitted is a plain wedding band. Use proper handwashing techniques.
