South Carolina Updates 20-Year-Old Food-Safety Regulations

California might have quickly changed its mind on requiring gloves for all food handlers, but there is unlikely to be a quick turnaround on any of South Carolina’s new but long-considered food-safety regulations.

The state just updated its rules for the first time in nearly 20 years.
