IFSEA Food Manager Exam Prep

Answer: D - As a supervisor of a hospital cafeteria, you should send your line chef home when they present to work with a sore throat and fever. As a hospital cafeteria, you are automatically serving a high risk population; therefore the employee should be sent home as the consumers involved may have lowered or compromised immune systems. As a sore throat and fever are possible signs of influenza, which is a highly contagious virus, you could risk spreading the virus to the hospital patients either through direct contact with the food products or the patients.
