Preventing foodborne illness is one of the most important challenges facing every food-service worker.
Instead of starting this chapter with lists of rules governing sanitary food handling, we first talk about the causes of foodborne diseases. Then, when we get to the rules, you will understand why they are important. This will make them easier to remember and to practice.
The rules presented in this chapter are basic guidelines only. Local health departments have more detailed regulations. All food-service operators are responsible for knowing the health department regulations in their own cities and states.
