National Food Safety Month Spotlights Foodborne Illness Detection and Protection

Norovirus and Hepatitis A are spreading throughout the food industry. I feel that handwashing is the first line of defense. Propers care of your work area and cleaning helps too. Ive noticed that foodworkers dont use protective gloves like they used to in the past. I think every worker should be monitored and given tests on hygiene. If the spread can be stopped from proper hygiene and handwashing, then why isnt this enforced. I realize there arent enough monitors to watch everyone, but it is common sense to wash your hands before handling food. Some people just dont care though and that all starts in the home, which seems broken in this country lately
