California eFoodHandlers Practice Exam

Working on the cook line can be busy. It is best to

1. Keep a towel handy for spills

2. Wash your hands and use utensils to keep from touching raw foods

3. Use gloves for all tasks to save time

4. Eat when hungry to maintain energy

The correct answer is: Wash your hands and use utensils to keep from touching raw foods

Option A is incorrect because while it is important to keep a towel handy for spills, it is not the most important aspect of working on the cook line. Option C is incorrect because while gloves may be necessary for some tasks, it is not necessary to use them for all tasks and it may actually waste time. Option D is incorrect because while it is important to maintain energy while working on the cook line, it is not relevant to the best practice for staying clean and preventing cross-contamination. The best option for staying clean and preventing cross-contamination on the cook line is to wash your hands regularly and use utensils to handle raw foods. This helps to prevent the spread of bacteria and contamination from raw foods to cooked foods.
