The food industry has come a long way in its hygiene practices with regulations on food, sanitizing, facility, equipment, and uniforms.On a study conducted on 153 events and over a thousand samples it was shown that hygienic and disinfecting practices have greatly improved bacteria control as compared to last year. In the study, it was shown that over half of the wristbands from servers was infected with Escherichia coli and some form of staphylococci due to the fabric of the band. This particular study was designed with the coming London Olympics in mind. Researchers were studying the various procedures and policies placed in order to control bacterial growth at large events and gatherings. Understanding how we cater to bacteria at such large events will better assist us in setting fourth control measures in order to prevent a large pathogenic outbreak in the future.
