    Question

    According to the FDA Food Code 2022, what is the

    recommended guideline for hand-washing sinks in food establishments?
    A One hand-washing sink per 5 food handlers Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B At least one hand-washing sink Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C One hand-washing sink for every 10 employees Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Hand-washing sinks are only required in restrooms Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    At least one hand-washing sink is required in or near all food preparation, food dispensing, and warewashing areas. The FDA Food Code 2022 (§ 5-203.11) mandates that hand-washing sinks must be conveniently located in or near key areas like food preparation, dispensing, and warewashing zones. While it does not prescribe a fixed ratio (e.g., per number of handlers), it emphasizes accessibility to ensure proper hygiene. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because the FDA does not specify sink-to-handler ratios or restrict sinks to restrooms.
