A restaurant worker washes raw fish in a sink and then uses the same sink to rinse clean plates without cleaning it. What should the environmental health inspector recommend?
Correct answer: A. Clean and disinfect the sink before washing clean utensils
- A. Clean and disinfect the sink before washing clean utensils
- B. Rinse the sink with cold water only between activities
- C. Place the clean plates beside the raw fish during washing
- D. Use the same unclean cloth to wipe the sink and plates
Explanation
Raw fish may contaminate surfaces with pathogenic organisms, so the sink must be cleaned and disinfected before clean utensils are handled. Cold-water rinsing alone and use of a contaminated cloth do not provide adequate sanitation.
