All food should be labeled with the contributor’s name and address in case problems develop, public health officials can identify the cause and avoid more illness. Cover foods to protect from dust, contamination and .direct contact with hands or fingers. Use plastic gloves to handle food. Utensils used where food is transferred must be clean and should not be moved from one food to another. Food and money should be handled by different people. People who are sick or have cuts or sores on their hands, face, or arms should not prepare or handle food in their homes 'or at bake sales. These people can help take money, clean up or handle any job that does not involve con tact with food. Ingredient labels are useful because more people are watching their diets for a variety of health related reasons.
