22   section and replacing it with the following:
23     (1)  Except when washing fruits and vegetables,
24   food employees should, to the extent practicable,
25   avoid contact with exposed, ready-to-eat food with
26   their bare hands.  Where ready-to-eat food is
27   routinely handled by employees, employers should adopt
28   reasonable sanitary procedures to reduce the risk of
29   the transmission of pathogenic organisms.

31   contact with ready-to-eat foods, no single method or
32   device is universally practical or necessarily the
33   most effective method to prevent the transmission of
34   pathogenic organisms in all situations.  As such, each
35   public food service establishment shall review its
36   operations to identify procedures where ready-to-eat
37   food must be routinely handled by its employees and
38   adopt one or more of the following sanitary
39   alternatives, to be used either alone or in
40   combination, to prevent the transmission of pathogenic
41   organisms:
42     (a)  The use of suitable food handling materials
43   including, but not limited to, deli tissues,
44   appropriate utensils, or dispensing equipment.  Such
45   materials must be used in conjunction with thorough
46   hand washing practices in accord with paragraph (c).
