The food producer and handler each have an important role in ensuring the safety and quality of foods grown and processed. Poor hygiene and health, unclean clothing or shoes, or unsafe practices on the part of workers (spitting, urinating, discarding food trash in field) can threaten food safety. Providing clean and appropriately stocked rest- room and hand washing facilities to field and processing employees helps prevent product contamination.  A lack of restrooms results in unnecessary product contaminants in the field.
