About
Drs. Don Schaffner (Department Chair, Rutgers University) and Jim Arbogast (Consultant, JW Arbogast Advanced Science Consulting) will highlight the most relevant published hand-washing evidence since 2019. Findings presented at the October 2024 Infectious Diseases Society of America conference will be reviewed in depth. This study directly compared a 20-second soap-and-water hand wash to two alcohol-based protocols, using the ASTM E2784 Standard Test Method to measure effectiveness. Both pathogen removal and food transfer rates were measured. Learn the latest in hand-washing protocols and applications for food preparation at temporary venues and emergency situations with limited water availability.
The Association of Food and Drug Officials is hosting a series of one-hour webinars on timely topics like this one every Friday through mid-December.
