While hand sanitizers may advertise that they kill viruses and bacteria, they can never take the place of handwashing. So is there any instance where hand sanitizers or antiseptics are allowed in the kitchen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Minnesota food code is adamant that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.state.mn.us\/communities\/environment\/food\/docs\/fs\/handwashfs.pdf\">sanitizers are not an effective replacement for handwashing<\/a>, they do allow for the use of sanitizers in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foodservice workers can use antiseptic gels or liquids after they have washed their hands properly. This can add an extra layer of protection, but only when used properly after a good handwashing. They should never be used before handwashing, or when timing makes the washing of hands inconvenient. Remember, handwashing should never be inconvenient, and paying close attention to handwashing habits will help prevent the spread of foodborne illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the norovirus, the flu or Ebola, it\u2019s always good practice to teach proper handwashing techniques that can be used at work or at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0FDA recently issued a warning letter to the makers of Purell sanitizer\u00a0asking them to stop claiming their sanitizer kills norovirus, Ebola, influenza and other viruses.
