Bare hand contact is not allowed with ready-to-eat foods. A barrier (ie. gloves, utensils, deli paper, etc.) must be used between bare hands and ready-to-eat food. Effective hair restraints, including nets, caps and sprays are required in food preparation and service areas. Food handling personnel must wash their hands as frequently as necessary, even if disposable gloves are used. Nails must be closely trimmed and maintained. "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (John 3:16)
