The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correct Answer: Wash his hands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before a food worker begins preparing sandwiches\u2014especially after completing a cleaning and sanitizing task like working with a deli slicer\u2014it is essential to wash hands properly<\/strong>. This is a critical step in maintaining food safety and preventing cross-contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although cleaning and sanitizing equipment is a crucial part of food safety, it often involves handling chemicals, using tools, or coming into contact with potentially contaminated surfaces. After such tasks, a food worker\u2019s hands may be exposed to sanitizers, grease, food residue, or germs. Simply rinsing the hands is not sufficient to remove all contaminants. Proper handwashing with soap and water<\/strong> ensures that bacteria, viruses, and chemical residues are fully removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to food safety guidelines from agencies like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)<\/strong> and CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)<\/strong>, workers must wash their hands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Before preparing food<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • After cleaning or using cleaning chemicals<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • After touching any potentially contaminated surface or equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Handwashing must follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Wet hands with clean, running water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Apply soap and lather by rubbing hands together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Scrub all parts of the hands, including between fingers and under nails, for at least 20 seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Rinse thoroughly with running water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Dry with a clean towel or air dryer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Rinsing the deli slicer<\/strong> is part of the sanitizing process but does not address hand hygiene.
      Rinsing hands<\/strong> without soap is ineffective for proper sanitation.
      Putting on cloth gloves<\/strong> without washing hands first can trap bacteria against the skin and cause contamination of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In summary, washing hands is the correct and necessary step<\/strong> after cleaning equipment and before handling food, ensuring safety for both the food product and consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
