Almonds are received in cardboard cases. Personnel handling the unroasted nuts will be separate from those handling roasted nuts. Workers unboxing and loading the dumper hopper for the steamer unit wear a plastic disposable apron before transitioning to a task handling post treated nuts. Sanitary, disposable gloves are similarly worn for handling nuts which have been treated. Personnel who handle the nuts wear appropriate hair restraints (hair nets/beard nets) and gloves. Hand washing is performed at the entrance to the room prior to personnel placing gloves on.
