If You Are Wondering If West Virginia Requires Food Service Employees To Wash Their Hands

They don’t, as this sign posting scam reveals.

Attorney General Darrell McGraw is warning businesses around the state that a company called the West Virginia Food Service Compliance Center is sending bogus notices about requirements concerning posters about employee handwashing.

McGraw said the company is telling businesses that state law requires them to purchase posters about handwashing and to display them.

McGraw said there is no such law. Specific handwashing regulations are generally set by county health boards.
