You wake up not feeling well, but you are scheduled to work. What symptom would REQUIRE you to stay home from work according to the food rules?

  1. Sneezing

  2. Headache

  3. Vomiting

  4. Hunger

The correct answer is: Vomiting

Vomiting would require you to stay home from work according to food rules because it can be a sign of a contagious illness and it could contaminate food if you work in the food industry. Sneezing and headache may be symptoms of a common cold or allergies, but they are not as concerning for food safety. Hunger may be uncomfortable, but it is not a symptom of an illness that could harm others or affect the food you handle.
