Question

under which situation would it be appropriate to handle a ready - to - eat food with your bare hands without prior permission from a regulatory authority? washing vegetables serving ice to a customer making sushi preparing cold cuts

Explanation:

Regulatory authorities (like food safety agencies) typically require bare - hand contact with ready - to - eat food to have prior permission, except in some low - risk scenarios. Serving ice to a customer is a low - risk activity where using bare hands (after proper handwashing) is often considered appropriate without prior permission. Washing vegetables involves produce that is usually washed and then further prepared, and bare - hand contact here may have different requirements. Making sushi and preparing cold cuts are more high - risk in terms of food safety (due to the nature of the food, like raw fish in sushi or deli meats in cold cuts) and would likely require prior permission for bare - hand contact.
