Food Safety

Answer: D - If Kate cut her finger while chopping vegetables for the salad bar, she should do all of these items. First, she should clean her cut and place a bandage and finger cot over the wound. The finger cot will prevent the bandage from slipping off into food. The vegetables she was working with may have been contaminated with blood, so Kate should throw those out. Finally, Kate should clean and sanitize all affected equipment including the knife, cutting board and prep surface. This will help to prevent pathogens like Staphylococcus aureusfrom contaminating food.
