Summary

During the noon meal plating service, an open industrial garbage can filled to the top with trash was observed without a lid and positioned approximately 15 feet from the steam table where food was being plated. The garbage can remained open for about half an hour during the food service period. The Dietary Manager confirmed that the garbage can should have been covered and not located near the steam table during meal service, and that all kitchen staff are responsible for ensuring trash containers are covered and removed from the serving area. Facility policy requires all food preparation and service areas to be maintained in safe and sanitary conditions, including keeping all trash containers covered in leak-proof containers to prevent cross-contamination.
