hi.
thanks for posting query at HCM.
1. this guy may transmit the disease if he is infectious ( HBsAg and/or HBeAg is positive in blood)
2. not sure about regulations @food industry in India
3. Visit a hepatologist and treatment plan would depend upon HBsAg status and HBV DNA count on PCR
hope to answer your concern
regards
Dr Tayyab Malik
