Failure to Ensure Safe Food Handling Training for All Dietary Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure all dietary staff received training in safe food handling practices for the prevention of foodborne illness. During a record review and interview, surveyors requested verification of food handler training for all dietary staff, and the administrator later provided training certificates for only five of seven dietary employees. It was identified that one cook and one dietary aide had not received the required food handler training, despite the administrator identifying that 37 residents received meals from the dietary department. This deficiency centers on the lack of documented and completed safe food handling training for these two dietary staff members.
