I would like to know the acceptable beard lengths in the food industry that do not require employees to wear a beard net. My facility manufactures cheese, and most employees have direct contact with food. Is there a specific length at which employees are required to wear a beard net?
Here are the beard length categories:
Clean-Shaven (to establish a baseline)
Stubble (0-3 mm)
Short Beard (4 mm-15 mm)
Medium-Length Beard (16 mm–7.5 cm)
Long Beard (7.5 cm and longer)
