When is handwashing necessary in a food business?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Before preparing food and after using the toilet
Hands must be washed with soap and clean water before preparing food and after using the toilet. This reduces the chance of germs reaching food and causing food-borne illness. Washing hands only when the shop closes is not enough because contamination must be prevented before food is handled. Exam tip: For food hygiene, remember “before handling food and after using the toilet.”
