Which of the following statements about proper hand washing techniques is false?

The assertion that plastic gloves eliminate the need for constant hand washing is false because gloves can give a false sense of security. While wearing gloves can help prevent contamination, they do not replace the need for proper hand washing. Germs and pathogens can still be transferred onto gloves from surfaces or contaminated food. If the gloves become soiled or are removed and replaced, hand washing is essential to ensure that hands are clean and free of contaminants before touching food or surfaces. Thus, even with gloves, food handlers must wash their hands regularly to maintain food safety.
