What does everyone consider a hair restraint to be? I personally do not think having your hair pulled back in a pony tail, bun, braid, etc. is considered a hair restraint so I usually will write the violation if they do not have some sort of hat, hairnet, bandana, etc.

Curious on everyone's thoughts!

Are diced raw onions TCS? I always assumed so bc when they're cut they container moisture and they can also cause listeria. Correct me if I'm wrong.

i wanted to know about this exam. I will be doing the course this summer. i have already been emplyed for 3 years in Health Department. Can someone guide me

Vaccine Name Verorab

Place Rijeka, Croatia

My last dose of vaccine is little bit doubt is that when the doctor inject the solvent water into the vial after that they didn't shake it and drawn from the vial and inject to me and I saw a little bit vaccine also left in the vial So I worry about vaccination is valid or invalid. And the room also bit dark and no light also After two days later I go to the clinic and talk to the doctor I have a doubt of my last dose I want to repeat my last dose but doctor denied it and there is no way to test antibody titer also If they give extra one dose what will it lose I don't know rabies is 100 fatal Most of the time the doctor didn't take serious about when the timetime of vaccination ... I don't think it is valid vaccination

Hello,

I graduated with a B.S. in Environmental Management and Protection. I'm interested in taking the REHS exam but had a question about the transcript evaluations.

I took microbiology and failed (did not retake it because it was not a required course for my major). Would they accept this course if I took it again? Just kinda curious about how much good grades matter to the education requirements.

Thank you!

Our low temp dish machine(AF/AFC 3D-S) uses chlorine sanitizer(Trupower Eco San). Can we switch to quat(Oasis 146) if we run out? Or would we be required to use the 3 compartment sink method?

** Oops, my apologies. On further reading this may be the wrong sub as I am not a sanitarian. It’s an urgent issue for me at the moment and Im having trouble getting an immediate response from ADS. Using the 3 compartment sink seems to be the obvious answer to me but current management thinks otherwise and I’m a little uncomfortable with the situation. Thanks everyone for the insight so far.

I graduate on May 17th, and there is currently an EHS position open in my county! I was told it takes several weeks after graduation for transcripts to update, and im worried about the job closing before I get a chance to apply/get the letter, which also takes several weeks. I do plan to contact the county to ask, but i was also wondering if anybody had any experience with a similar situation? Is it possible to still get the letter allowing you to work if your transcript doesnt yet state you have your degree? or is there something else i should try?

Seriously, should I go line by line pointing out every inconsistency?? Ask them to start over? I am new to haccp review in general but I am OVER THIS

I'm an international student planning to study NZ Master food safety and quality at Massey university (Feb 2027 intake). A licensed immigration adviser told me that, struggle to find jobs in NZ and suffer a lot. Is this true in 2026?! Any professionals, recruiters, or immigration advisers here who can share honest feedback would be really appreciated.

Hi to everyone here, I apologize in advance, 'cause english is not my first language, I just want to know if any of you have a tip, i'm about to take this exam to be a sanitarian in arizona, my education is from mexico, i'm a food science engineer (ingeniero en procesos bioalimentarios) i just wanna know what was the process to do the exam, how to pay.

I don't have any expeience in the field, and other sanitarian told me that taking a job like this would help me to start
