How should a food handler restrain long hair?

• A. Tie back with a scarf
• B. Put all hair up under a hat
• C. Wear a headband
• D. Let it hang loose

Answer: (B)

Keeping hair out of food is essential to prevent contamination. The best approach for long hair is to pull it all up and secure it under a hat. This fully contains the hair, creating a physical barrier between hair and the food, utensils, and prep surfaces. A scarf may slip or shed fibers and isn’t reliably contained. A headband often doesn’t keep all hair in place, leaving strands exposed. Letting hair hang loose clearly allows hair to fall into food or onto surfaces.
