COMMENT ON MINIMIZING BARE HAND CONTACT WITH FOODS: Whenever possible, avoid handling foods with bare hands (especially ready-to-eat foods that will not be cooked before served to customer) by using clean gloves, utensils, tongs, deli paper, scoops with handles, spoons, or other approved food dispensing utensil...Also minimize contact with raw meats, raw fish/seafood and raw chicken by using gloves and/or dispensing utensils.
