Gala2k [10]
When you are preparing or handling food, there are certain precautions to be followed to keep the eatables hygienic.

While handling food, one should remove before prepping food. He/she cannot wear rings, except the plain band. Bracelets and watches don’t matter as they are physically contaminated.
Eating, Drinking, Smoking, and Chewing Gum or Tobacco is strongly prohibited in the cooking area. Small droplets of saliva can contain thousands of pathogens, therefore, avoid spitting while prepping or serving food. Items of jewelry like rings, bracelets, and watches could collect soil and it could obstruct routine cleanup. As a result, the jewelry could act as a reservoir of unhealthful organisms which may transfer to the food.<span>
