Personal Hygiene and Serving Food

                 Personal Hygiene is properly caring for your body and keeping it clean and healthy.  When working with and serving food, you need to make sure you:

ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER:

• Using the toilet
• Sneezing or coughing
• Handling raw foods
• Handling garbage
• Clearing tables
• Before starting work, after breaks or when you enter the kitchen

When serving food:

• Use tongs, wax paper or non-latex gloves to touch food- never touch food with bare hands when possible.
• Use the handles of glasses, cups, or utensils- be sure not to touch areas where people's mouths will go.
