Produce departments at grocery stores should have strict requirements for employees hair.
If people stocking produce and handling our food have long hair they should be required to tie it back, wear a hairnet or a hat. There are any issues to consider with this requirement.
Grocery stores are icovered by the food code like restaurants and are nspected by county environmental health. While, the food code applies and people who work with food are supposed to “wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, beard restraints, and clothing that covers body hair, that are designed and worn to effectively keep their hair from contacting exposed food” But even if they are, it’s good to remember that produce is grown fresh at the farm and there is the potential for contamination. We always recommend that you wash uncooked fruits and vegetables before you eat them
