    1. Poor personal hygiene: Food handlers who do not practice good personal hygiene, such as washing their hands frequently and properly, may contaminate food with bacteria from their skin or respiratory tract.
    2. Handling food with bare hands: Food handlers who handle food with their bare hands, rather than using utensils or gloves, may transfer bacteria from their hands to the food.
    3. Cross-contamination: Food handlers who do not properly store or handle raw and cooked foods separately may contribute to cross-contamination, which occurs when bacteria from raw food are transferred to cooked food.
    4. Using contaminated equipment: Food handlers who use equipment or utensils that are not properly cleaned and sanitized may contribute to the spread of bacteria.
    5. Working while sick: Food handlers who work while sick, particularly with a diarrheal illness, may contaminate food with bacteria from their respiratory or digestive tracts.
    6. Improper storage: Food handlers who do not store food at the proper temperature or in a clean and dry environment may contribute to the growth of bacteria in the food.
