Safety

So we want to reduce cross contamination and direct handling of food by the people making the food.

• Be aware of any food allergies in your group and remove any food that might cause a problem
• Always wear food gloves when you are working with food ( buns, vegetables, meats)
• Separate meats and vegetables using the labeled cutting board, knife, and tray
