Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to prepare food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. Specifically, kitchen staff did not change gloves between cleaning the steamer and then checking the temperature of the food on the steam table. This issue has the potential to effect residents in the facility who ate lunch from the kitchen. Findings include: Review of the facility policy Bare Hand Contact with Food and Use of Plastic gloves received from the facility on [DATE] at 10:10 a.m., was dated Effective: 12/1/17, Reviewed 10/18/17 and Revised 10/18/17 indicated that gloved hands are considered a food contact surface that can get contaminated or soiled. If used, single use gloves shall be used for only one task such as working with ready to eat food or with raw animal food, used for no other purpose and discarded when damaged or soiled or when interruptions occur in the operation. Hands are to be washed when entering the kitchen and before putting on the plastic gloves. During the observation on [DATE] at 10:31 a.m., Cook #1 cleaned spill from steamer with the green bucket of soap and water. Cook #1 did not change gloves before going over to the steam table with a thermometer. Cook #1 took the temperature of the pureed carrots with the same gloves on that she used to clean out the oven. Cook #1's gloved finger of her left hand touched the pureed carrots. In an interview on [DATE] at 10:45 a.m., Cook #1 confirmed she used the same gloves to check food temperatures as the ones she used to wipe the spill from the bottom of the steamer. In an interview on [DATE] at 11:00 a.m., the Assistant Kitchen Manager said they do training quarterly with staff on hand washing. In an interview on [DATE] at 12:00 p.m., the Kitchen Manager said that Cook #1 should have changed her gloves in between task. Review of the training documentation dated 5/30/19 showed Cook #1 had been trained on handwashing but not glove usage. The competencies list for Dining Services did not show that glove usage was part of the competencies to be trained on. |
