Poor Personal Hygiene in The Fast Food Industry

Imagine that you are at home at your favorite local fast food restaurant, suddenly feeling sick and facing a life-threatening illness. You will be surprised at this point as you believe that the restaurant promises to offer you the perfect food. The number of food-related diseases in the US is estimated to be 76 million per year. Many local fast food stores do not seem to pay attention to countermeasures that may actually affect customers' health. These health problems are permanent or temporary and affect people's lives.

According to the survey, a considerable proportion of cases of foodborne diseases may be due to bad food sanitation, such as bad hygiene, poor personal hygiene, equipment pollution, environmental pollution etc. The incidence of food poisoning may be due to low food sanitation, which often occurs frequently in many parts of the world. If food is not properly handled, diseases such as peanut butter, spinach, hamburgers, meat etc. occur. Chemical contamination: Food contaminated with specific chemical substances. Chemicals are very useful when cleaning the kitchen, but they can easily pollute food. In order to minimize the risk of contamination, chemicals must be properly labeled and stored separately from food

Personal hygiene Please do not assume that all employees understand equally about personal hygiene. Food workers must adhere strictly to the highest possible personal hygiene standards to ensure that the food is not contaminated. High standards of personal hygiene also play an important role in forming a good image of the public. This includes the elimination of non hygienic practices such as glove use, hand washing, nail cleaning, hair grooming, clean uniforms, and eating and drinking, smoking and exhaling. For operators, it is also important to take clear measures against diseases of food workers. As a result, workers who are injured or injured during work (cuts or bandages) are not permitted at all times.

Today, citizens place importance on food hygiene. Many food poisoning incidents have occurred due to low food sanitation standards. Food service companies play an important role in proper health standards. As Kashif Hussain (2005) pointed out, food sanitation in the food service industry is the responsibility of everyone working at the company to prevent and mitigate the risk of food borne illness.
