A food handler's smock is a type of protective garment worn by individuals who work in the food service industry. It is designed to help maintain cleanliness and hygiene standards in food preparation areas.

A food handler's smock is typically made of a lightweight, breathable fabric that is easy to clean and sanitize. It is usually long-sleeved and covers the upper body, providing a barrier between the food handler's clothing and the food being prepared.

The smock is often worn over regular clothing and is meant to be worn exclusively in the food preparation area to prevent cross-contamination. It helps to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses by reducing the transfer of bacteria, dirt, and other contaminants from the food handler to the food.

Food handler's smocks are typically required by health and safety regulations in many jurisdictions to ensure proper food handling practices. They are an essential part of maintaining a clean and safe food preparation environment.
