Which of the following is not true about wearing jewelry when preparing or handling food? a. watches and bracelets can provide a harbor for germs that can contaminate food b. earrings and necklaces can fall into food, creating a physical hazard for customers c. a plain ring, such as a wedding band, is permissible d. rings with stones are ok to wear as long as you have gloves on

The following statement is NOT true about wearing jewelry when preparing or handling food: Rings with stones are OK to wear as long as you have gloves on. Correct D In opposite, rings with stones are likely to tear gloves, also creating potential for contamination.

If you are preparing food, you may not wear any jewelry except for a plain ring such as a wedding band. Items such as earrings or necklaces can fall into food, creating a physical hazard

The correct answer is

D. Rings with stones are OK to wear as long as you have gloves on

Explanation:

Wearing the gloves when there is a wedding ring in the fingers can result in the tearing of gloves producing contamination in the food. They are also hard to move if a long time has been passed so germs could also be present beneath them which can cause contamination.
