    Thank you for your reply

    I have listed the following, and would like to see if maybe I have missed anything

    Have high standards of personal hygiene, also wearing head net, gloves and a mask, use clean disinfected utensils, use tongs as often as possible, wash all foods that can be washed, keep the sandwiches in a cool dry place and cover with a food net or store in a sealed container

    With that said, how would you prevent the spread? I can't do your homework for you, but I am willing to help you.

    Hello Leigh-Ann:

    Keep cold foods cold, and hot foods hot.

    Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 ° and 140 °F, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes. This range of temperatures is often called the "Danger Zone." Never leave food out of refrigeration over 2 hours. If the temperature is above 90 °F, food should not be left out more than 1 hour.
