Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve

Based on observations, review of facility policy, and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed
to utilize proper hygiene by not wearing a hair net to prevent contamination of food during the lunch food
preparation.
Findings include:
Review of facility policy entitled Hair Restraints dated 6/10/22, indicated that food handlers that have direct
contact with food shall wear hair restraints, such as hairnets, beard nets and caps that cover exposed body
hair.
Observation of the lunch service on 9/06/23, at 11:15 p.m. revealed that Dietary Employee E1 was not
wearing a hair net when checking the temperature of the food being served. He/She did not don (put on) a
hair net until reminded to do so by the supervisor after three trays of food were already checked for
temperatures.
During an interview on 9/06/23, at 11:30 a.m. Dietary Manager Employee E2 confirmed that Dietary
Employee E1 should have been wearing a hair net to avoid the potential of contaminating the lunch meal.
