Mouth:
• There are many germs in the area of the mouth, therefore the mouth or lips should not be touched by the hands or utensils which may come into contact with food. No cooking utensils should be used for tasting food, nor should fingers be used for this purpose as germs may be transferred to food. A clean teaspoon should be used for tasting, and washed well afterwards.Coughing over foods and working areas should be avoided as germs are spread long distances if not trapped in a handkerchief.
