Deficient Food Hygiene Practices and Equipment Maintenance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper food hygiene practices and ensure kitchen equipment was in good repair, which could potentially lead to foodborne illness. During an initial kitchen observation, it was noted that a female staff member and a dietician were not wearing hair restraints while in the kitchen. Additionally, a driver nutrition services staff member entered the kitchen without a hair restraint and only put one on after being observed. These lapses in hygiene practices were contrary to the facility's policy, which requires hair covers in all food preparation areas to prevent contamination. The facility's dishwashing equipment was also found to be malfunctioning. During observations, the temperature gauge for the dishwasher's final rinse was not functioning correctly, with readings below the required minimum temperature. Staff members had to use portable thermometers to check the temperature, which varied and did not consistently meet the necessary standards. The Executive Chef and other staff acknowledged the issue, stating that the equipment was in the process of being replaced and that work orders had been placed to address the malfunctioning temperature gauge. Interviews with the nutritional supervisor and dietary director revealed that staff were expected to follow hand hygiene practices and wear hair restraints to prevent cross-contamination and foodborne illness. However, observations showed that these practices were not consistently followed. The nutritional supervisor confirmed that staff were aware of the procedure to report equipment issues and place work orders, but the dishwashing machine's temperature gauge remained unfixed, and staff continued to rely on alternative methods to check temperatures. The facility's documentation indicated that the wash tank was reset, but the temperature gauge issue persisted due to a faulty final rinse solenoid.
