I worked many years ago, on the Mc Donald's Mc Nuggets line in Sun Valley Poultry in Hereford, and guess what? We actually touched the chicken meat with.................................................our hands!
Obviously @Ffermer Bach is not aware of strict hygiene rules in butcher shops
Some years ago the same shop was fined when the hygiene inspector turned up unannounced and found dirty work area
There’s a butcher shop on the outskirts of Shrewsbury where the person serving meats is not allowed to handle money
Goods are paid for at separate till

Before Covid and back in the first couple of weeks that Tesco opened in Aberystwyth, I visited with my wife for the first and last time. On the deli counter a late middle aged man was serving and, top marks, he and other staff were wearing gloves. Only trouble was that he was in the middle of a bad cold and his nose was dripping on the counter between being his drippy nose being wiped by his gloved hands. WTF!

Never again!!!! What is so difficult about using basic hygiene with some people? Yuk!

It's incredible the number of people that walk straight out of a toilet, obviously having had a Tom tit, and don't wash their hands.

Wonder how many people had touched it before it ended up in the butchers shop
