The System That Protects You And the Buffet Food From Unclean Hands

Finally, a sure way, and an inexpensive one, in which restaurants can protect their customers from food contamination and cross-contamination from everyone in the buffet line handling the same serving utensils over and over and over.

If, before you ate, you shook hands with everyone in the restaurant and everyone that preceded you in the restaurant for that meal, would you suspect your hands were perhaps contaminated?

Well, you have done just that if you served yourself in a buffet line where everyone before you has used the same serving utensil that you are using. Your hands may be contaminated from the common use of the utensil by others, as may your food be contaminated if the contaminated utensils have fallen into the food which you will eat.
