Which of the following is not a good practice while working in food service?

Putting a lot of hair spray in so that you can look your best is not considered a good practice in food service because it can lead to potential hygiene and safety issues. While personal grooming is important, effective food safety practices prioritize the health and safety of both workers and customers. Using excessive hair products can cause hair to become less manageable and may increase the risk of hair falling into food, contaminating it.

In contrast, wearing gloves while handling food, keeping hair tied back, and wearing clean uniforms directly contribute to maintaining hygienic conditions in food preparation and service. Wearing gloves helps prevent the transfer of bacteria and other contaminants from hands to food. Tying hair back ensures that it does not come into contact with food or food preparation areas. Maintaining clean uniforms also helps minimize the risk of spreading germs or contaminants, promoting overall food safety and sanitation.
