Staph. is a bacteria present on everyone's body, and on the surface of some meats. Failure to properly clean hands and utensils, or to refrigerate meats, or to thoroughly cook them, can allow the bacteria to propagate and grow. Salmonella is more of a risk in food preparation as it is present not only in or on meats, but dairy and vegetables as well. Sneeze shields should also be provided on heating/cooling tables where foods may be left for extended periods for serving purposes. Covers should be on every food container at prep stations when not in use.
