Salad Bar Safety

Recently, researchers at the University of California have placed salad bars under surveillance to see how sanitary they are. In one such study, 60 percent of the customers were observed committing at least one infraction of good sanitation practice while serving themselves at the salad bars. Here are some of the things they were seen doing:

*Spilling food around hard-to-reach containers
*Dipping their fingers into salad dressings for a sample lick
*Eating from their plates while waiting in the serving line
*Ducking their heads underneath the sneeze guard for better access to the food (especially kids)
*Refilling their soiled plates with second helpings

If this behavior doesn't surprise you--people are the same everywhere--it may surprise you to learn that it was not the consumers the investigators blamed for these violations, but the food service managers. The way they saw it, people treat a salad bar with with respect if it is constructed properly, has signs to guide patrons to correct behavior, and is properly attended and supervised.
