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.
