Is it ok to wash hands in bleach water and then prepare food?

No, it is not safe to wash hands in bleach water before preparing food. Bleach is a strong chemical that can leave harmful residues on the skin, which can contaminate food and pose health risks if ingested. Instead, hands should be washed with soap and water to ensure they are properly cleaned before food preparation. If sanitizing surfaces is needed, a properly diluted bleach solution can be used separately, but hands should remain free of bleach.
