⚠️ CRITICAL 590.003/3-304.15-P

(A) Gloves Use Limitation (P)

Observed employee using gloved hands to handle raw shaved steak at the grill. Gloves were not removed and the same gloved hands touched raw vegetables and cheese. Reviewed with PIC and corrected at the time of the inspection Review with employees

Why This Matters

FALSE SECURITY: Contaminated gloves spread bacteria MORE than bare hands because workers feel 'protected'. Gloves pick up 5x more bacteria than skin. Not changing between tasks spreads contamination to everything touched.

Code Requirements
