Why do you have to sneeze away from the food as well as coughing?

Sneezing and coughing expel droplets and particles from the respiratory system, which can carry germs and contaminants. To prevent the spread of these pathogens to food, it's important to turn away when sneezing or coughing. This practice helps maintain food safety and hygiene, reducing the risk of illness for those consuming the food. Additionally, it demonstrates good manners and respect for others' health.
