Should a person who has diarrhoea be serving food to others?
Good hygiene practice for people working in areas where food is handled 1. Wash and dry your hands: – Before and after handling food; and – After going to the toilet. 2. Report any illness to the management. 3. Do not work if you are suffering from diarrhoea an/or vomiting. Diarrhoea and Vomiting Diarrhoea and vomiting may be indicative of a gastrointestinal infection. Food business managers must encourage the prompt reporting of diarrhoea and vomiting by their food handlers. Immediate Action Anyone who has diarrhoea and vomiting should report to their line manager and leave the food handling area immediately. Normally they would then leave the premises, but could be given safe alternative work*.
