Cooking for Crowds: Wash Hands

Handwashing is the most critical defense against foodborne illness.

Wash your hands before handling or preparing food or putting on gloves.

You must wash your hands after:

• Using the restroom
• Sneezing or coughing
• Handling raw foods, especially meat, poultry, and fish
• Handling money
• Taking out garbage
• Handling any soiled or potentially contaminated items
