Sneeze Guards

Using sneeze guards is important for keeping foods safe and free from contaminants.

In today's world, having sneeze guards in place brings customers a level of satisfaction and trust that may usually take more work to gain.

What is a Sneeze Guard?

Coughing, sneezing, and even just breathing can cause germs to be sprayed into the air. Sneeze guards are designed to capture any of these fluids and germs and prevent contamination of foods.

Are Sneeze Guards Required?

Most buffets are required by health code regulations to have a sneeze guard of some sort protecting their food from dozens or hundreds of customers. Because health codes vary significantly from location to location, we can't say for certain whether your local health department requires sneeze guards for restaurants, but we can say they're a good idea regardless. Customers hesitate to eat at buffets that seem insufficiently protected, especially in times when disease is at the forefront of their minds.
