True or False: Hepatitis B and C are included with Hepatitis A as illnesses that can lead to exclusion from food service establishments.

True
False
Only Hepatitis B is included
Only Hepatitis C is included

The correct answer is: False

The correct response is based on the specific guidelines and regulations that govern food safety and public health. Hepatitis A is the primary concern when it comes to food service establishments because it is a highly contagious virus that can be transmitted through food and water. As such, individuals diagnosed with Hepatitis A are typically subject to exclusion from food handling activities to prevent outbreaks. On the other hand, while Hepatitis B and C are serious viral infections that can have significant health implications, they are not typically associated with foodborne transmission in the same way as Hepatitis A. Thus, food safety regulations do not necessitate exclusion from food service for those infected with Hepatitis B or C. Given this context, the statement implying that both Hepatitis B and C can lead to exclusion, alongside Hepatitis A, is not accurate, leading to the conclusion that the answer is false.
