Answer 1

Answer:

Carlos should immediately refer to the FDA Employee Health and Personal Hygiene Handbook to encourage practices and behaviors that can help prevent food employees from spreading viruses and bacteria to food. All restaurants follow these procedures and Carlos should immediately remove her from the premise and refer her to a physician. At one big chain restaurant, all employees must wear gloves, sanitize the surface, and wash their hands every 10 minutes for 30 seconds. At a local mom and pop restaurant, the glove procedure is enforced but limited in terms of supplies for cleaning.

Carlos should refer to the six highly infective pathogens that can easily be transmitted by food workers ("Big 6).

The section includes response to contamination events (clean -up of vomiting and diarrheal events)and new question addressing disposition of ready-to-eat food that may have contaminated by an employee who has been restricted or excluded.
