Bare Hand Contact with Ready-to-Eat Food
Food worker does not use proper utensil to eliminate bare hand contact with food that will not receive adequate additional heat treatment.
⚠️ Why This Matters
DIRECT CONTAMINATION: Hands carry 150+ bacterial species and 3,000-5,000 bacteria per square centimeter. Even 'clean' hands transfer millions of bacteria. Ready-to-eat foods receive no kill step. Bare hand contact is #1 factor in Norovirus outbreaks affecting 20 million Americans annually.
📋 Code Requirements
NO bare hand contact EVER with ready-to-eat foods. Use: Single-use gloves (change every hour and between tasks), Tongs/spatulas/spoons, Deli tissue/wax paper. Wash hands before donning gloves. Post signs. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE in NYC.
CDC Risk Factor:
