What should food handlers do after prepping food and before using the restroom?

  1. Wash their hands

  2. Change gloves

  3. Take off their aprons

  4. Sanitize their work area

The correct answer is: Take off their aprons

After prepping food and before using the restroom, food handlers should take off their aprons. This practice is important to prevent the spread of any potential contaminants from the food preparation area to the restroom. Food handlers should always remove any outer protective clothing or gear before leaving the food preparation area to maintain proper hygiene and food safety standards. Washing hands, changing gloves, and sanitizing the work area are also important steps in food handling but taking off their aprons is specifically crucial before using the restroom.
