Although cafeteria personnel are fantastic at wiping down tables and cleaning the floors, they do lack kitchen etiquette. Cafeteria personnel are required to wear gloves, hairnets, and an apron while serving food. What the regulations don’t cover is excess makeup. I’ve had a few sandwiches that have had shimmering gold sparkles. Some personnel tend to touch their face while they are handling food as well. Many of the workers behind the counter don’t seem to understand the importance of a clean face as well as body when working with food. This can lead to cross contamination. Cross contamination is bacteria transferred from one food to another usually caused by using the same place mat to handle food. With these unhealthy meals, the schools tend to serve unhealthy side options as well. Ranch dressing is a popular topping in the south, consequently that delicious toppings has a high amount of calories and sodium. Salt is a very unhealthy seasoning when overused. Salt is always within eye-level in a basket where hands can grab an unlimited amount of packages. When students are not satisfied with the food options, they tend to eat the snack options served near the lunch counter. Some snacks may have reduced fat or they’re low in sodium, but the snacks tend to have a high sugar and calorie
