The salad is not starched. We rinse the salad ingredients in water and do not add starch or anything else to them. Health and sanitation standards require hair restraint, not necessarily hair nets.
Employees restrain their hair with a net, a hat, a rubber band, barrette or scrunchie.
Keep in mind that a thousand customers are also using the salad bar and other serving tables. It's very easy to have hair show up in these exposed foods. In most cases clean hands are more sanitary than plastic gloves, so our employees wash their hands frequently and wear plastic gloves when necessary. The eggs are from the Cal Poly poultry unit. The cold cereals are mostly from Kelloggs.
