All food handlers with a moustache and/or beard must wear a beardnet if there is the likelihood it could cause product contamination. It is a legal requirement.
It is a Good Manufacturing Practice for food handlers with excessive arm hairs to cover their forearms with a long sleeve uniform or wear plastic sleeve coverings specifically designed for forearms. For certain certification standards, this is compulsory unless it is impractical during certain processes.
Why is it that most food handlers working at the butchery, hardly wear anything covering their facial and arm hair?
