What should foodhandlers do after prepping food and before using the restroom?

Foodhandlers should always prioritize hygiene and food safety, especially after prepping food. After handling food, it is vital for foodhandlers to wash their hands thoroughly before using the restroom to prevent any potential contamination. By washing their hands, they remove any food particles, bacteria, or other contaminants that may have been transferred to their hands during food preparation.

While it is important to manage how they wear their aprons and gloves, taking off the apron does not directly address the immediate need for hand hygiene after food handling. The use of disposable gloves is typically reserved for actively handling food, and continuing to wear an apron after prepping food could lead to contamination if not handled properly. The key point is that handwashing is a critical step to ensure that food safety standards are maintained, especially before engaging in other activities like using the restroom.
