👉 Infection in the context of a restaurant refers to a situation where food or beverages are contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens, posing a health risk to diners. This can occur through various means, such as improper food handling, inadequate cooking temperatures, cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods, or unsanitary preparation environments. Restaurants must adhere to strict hygiene and safety protocols to prevent infections, including thorough cleaning of surfaces, proper storage and handling of ingredients, and training staff on safe food practices. When these standards are met, the restaurant ensures a safe dining experience, but lapses in these protocols can lead to outbreaks of foodborne illnesses.
