Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Your food service employee may return to work after her doctor as well as the local regulatory authority clears her after testing positive for Shiga toxin producing E. coli. Due to the infectious nature of this type of bacteria, the local regulatory authority must be notified to help identify any potential source of a possible outbreak. The local regulatory authority must also clear the food handler in conjunction with their medical doctor to ensure any and all public safety concerns are addressed and that the food handler no longer presents a risk to public safety.
