ISSUED BY THE DEPT. OF HEALTH V m / msH <-x<am m m W*r W* FINGERS OFF FOODSTUFFS! 1. PEOPLE BUYING READY TO EAT FOODSTUFFS in shops or restaurants, to take home or to eat on the premises:— Touch only the portion you yourself are buying. For example, examination of several sandwiches to select one is wrong. There is no reason why forks or spatulas shouldn’t be provided for use by customers in helping themselves. 2. PEOPLE SERVING READY TO EAT FOODSTUFFS to customers Use forks or spatulas to handle foodstuffs. Proprietors of premises should provide the necessary implements. Wash hands faithfully before handling dishes or food. Proprietors should provide ablution facilities—hot water, towels and soap—conveniently situated for frequent washing of hands. 3. PEOPLE COOKING FOODSTUFFS for others must be very particular to have clean hands and fingernails, and no diseased condition of hands or fingers. Washing of hands after lavatory visits and before handling food must be the rule. Bowel diseases are spread very commonly by contaminated hands. Fingers should be kept off other folk’s food and dishes as much as possible, and washed clean before handling food in any way. KEEP THIS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE FOR A HEALTHIER NATION
