Comment on If you work with food, how can you control yourself so you don’t eat it?

I would’ve understood and agreed with the manager if they were concerned about your health. You could contract herpes or something, and then sue them, if eating the food was officially allowed.

This is also a way hepatitis spreads.

We are immunized against all the heps I think, except C. Or we were idk what you all have been up to lately. I seem to recall changing the childhood vaccines to leave out one of the hep vaccines until later if at all despite infants getting it sometimes.
Should still be reheated if you are going to eat from another’s plate that you don’t know.

Hepatitis A vaccine was licensed in 1995, available in the US in 1996, and recommended for all US children in 2006. Hep A is the one you’re most likely to catch from sharing food.
So if children all got recommended vaccines (which sadly we know is getting less common), then ~21% of the US population should be vaccinated, plus anyone who got it before it was recommended for all.
Hepatitis B became standard for all newborns in 1991.
I’m showing my age, but I realize—even though I received all standard vaccines—it might be time to find out if I’m vaccinated against either of those.

I got a Hep A vaccine well before 1995. I think all of the hep variants except for C, in the 1980s.
Maybe that’s a new version of the vaccine you are talking about.
What we didn’t get was chickenpox vaccine, our parents and schools let us get infected, not a big deal, until maybe you get old or weak and the latent virus in your nerves wakes up. No hpv vaccine either obviously.
