There is definitely a relationship. Poor personal hygiene is bad for everyone concerned.

The major one that comes to mind is passing Hepatitis A, by being contagious, having a bowel movement and then not washing your hands. Also, you can pass E.coli by not washing your hands. They also have shields called "sneeze guards" at salad bars, because sneezes can pass many diseases to persons who unknowingly eat food that has been sneezed on. Yes heres one example: An employee at Mckings decides to use the restroom before his shift. He then ignores the Wash Your hands sign and exits the restroom. Two things are wrong here, he is the cook and the door now holds e-coli and other germs he was carrying. Later on someone drives through the drive through and orders a double cheeseburger. He prepares it with no gloves on and therefore spreads e-coli on the burger. The customer eats this and later gets violently sick of e-coli posioning.

Personal hygiene is a big part in food safety. Say you don't wash your hands after handling chicken; the food that you handle next has a chance of being cross contaminated, and people now know if chicken isn't cooked properly it can cause salmonella. Cross contamination is where a raw food detritus and bacteria is combined onto another food and remains there until consumption or washed. So personal hygiene has a lot to do with food safety.

In or out of the workplace, inadequate personal hygiene or improper behavior by food handlers can result in tainted food and food-borne illness for those who eat the food.
