Everywhere we turn these days it seems someone is reminding us that FLU SEASON IS HERE!! Influenza affects everyone at many different levels. For those of us in the foodservice industry, it can be devastating. Lost production, compromised shifts with fewer employees and elevated risks in all food handling situations.
According to the FDA, “Proper hygienic practices by food employees minimize the possibility of transmitting disease through food. Employee practices such as eating, drinking, and smoking in food preparation areas and working while experiencing persistent coughing and sneezing must be prohibited. Elimination of these practices will help prevent the transfer of microorganisms to foods and food-contact surfaces.”
