  1. Kitchen Nightmares What to look for in a Healthcare Kitchen Laura Pettit, R.E.H.S. Health Facilities Engineering Section

  2. Risk Based Inspection • What is most likely to cause foodborne illness? • Employee illness • Poor hand hygiene • Poor food handling • Temperature control – the “Danger Zone”

  3. Employee Health Policy • The Big 5 • Norovirus • Hepatitis A • Shigella spp. • E. Coli • Salmonella Typhi

  4. Employee Health • Reportable symptoms and illnesses • Diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice, sore throat with fever • Do employees know what to report and when to stay home? • Ask them! • Nobody wants to tell the boss that they have diarrhea. • If I call in sick, do I still get paid? Are employees likely to come in sick anyway to avoid losing their job?

  5. Handwashing

  6. Handwashing • Are sinks accessible? • Soap and paper towel available? • 20 second handwashing? • Observe employees

  7. Limiting the growth of bacteria through proper: • Cooking • Cooling • Thawing • Refrigeration • Elimination of Cross Contamination

  8. The Danger Zone • 41⁰F to 135⁰F • Bacteria grows the fastest when in this range

  9. Cooling • Within 2 hours cool to 70°F • 41°F within 4 more hours • Total of 6 hours • Do they keep cooling logs?

  10. Cooling • Shallow pans • Ice wands • Ice baths • Small amounts

  11. Temperature Monitoring • Temperature logs • Cooking • Refrigeration units • hot/cold holding • Trays to patients • Supplies and equipment

  17. Cleaning and Sanitizing • Food contact vs. non-food contact surfaces • Chemical and hot water sanitizing • Clean in place equipment

  18. Food contact surfaces • Prep tables • Slicers • Cutting boards • Anything that touches food!
