#8 — Hands Clean and Properly WashedPriority2-301.14

Inspector's notes

Observed employees enter the service kitchen, plate food such as bread pudding, handle clean plates for service to residents, and put fingers in mouth to remove ketchup while portioning the ketchup, without washing hands upon entering the kitchen or after contaminating hands (finger in mouth) and prior to handling clean dishes, utensils etc. PIC will retrain all employees about proper hand washing and when to wash. The hands are particularly important in transmitting foodborne pathogens. Food employees with dirty hands and/or fingernails may contaminate the food being prepared. Therefore, any activity which may contaminate the hands must be followed by thorough handwashing in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Food Code. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
