Sec. 416.5  Employee hygiene.



    (a) Cleanliness. All persons working in contact with product, food-

contact surfaces, and product-packaging materials must adhere to 

hygienic practices while on duty to prevent adulteration of product and 

the creation of insanitary conditions.

    (b) Clothing. Aprons, frocks, and other outer clothing worn by 

persons who handle product must be of material that is disposable or 

readily cleaned. Clean garments must be worn at the start of each 

working day and garments must be changed during the day as often as 

necessary to prevent adulteration of product and the creation of 

insanitary conditions.

    (c) Disease control. Any person who has or appears to have an 

infectious disease, open lesion, including boils, sores, or infected 

wounds, or any other abnormal source of microbial contamination, must be 

excluded from any operations which could result in product adulteration 

and the creation of insanitary conditions until the condition is 

corrected.
