Improper glove use was noted during the inspection. Contamination of food by the hands of food handlers is an important cause of foodborne illness outbreaks. The inspector informed the staff that proper glove use must be practiced and implemented at all times when handling food. A copy of the Guidelines for Proper Glove Use in Food Establishments will be provided with this report. As indicated, hands must be washed and dried thoroughly before wearing gloves, when changing to a new pair of gloves, and after removing the gloves. A new pair of gloves must be worn when changing tasks (e.g. when moving to a new work station, after handling raw meats, before handling ready-to-eat foods such as sandwiches, after cleaning duties, etc.), after covering mouth during sneezing or coughing, blowing nose, or touching hair (again, hands must be washed after gloves have been removed), as frequently as possible. A pair of gloves should not be worn for more than 4 hours. Prolonged use of a single pair of gloves can result in excess perspiration on hands, which provides ideal conditions for bacterial growth on the skin. , **IMPLEMENT PROPER GLOVE USE AT ALL TIMES.
