On the ticket, he explained that this order is always highlighted at the bottom and he informed DM A and the Admin about this occurrence. He could not detail how long his food preference had been denied, but he stated that it had been a long time. He felt that this was being done on purpose and it made him mad.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety in 1 of 1 (DA A) kitchen staff reviewed for dietary services . During lunch, DA A failed to wear gloves and properly clean his hands during service while he touched his face mask, key chain, and rubbed his eyes. This failure could place residents at risk for injury and food borne illness during food preparation and services. Findings included : In an observation and interview on 08/21/24 at 12:13 p.m., DA A was tasked with taking the finished plates off the hot line and putting them on the trays inside of the food cart. DA A was the only kitchen staff observed without gloves. During service, DA A touched his face mask covering his mouth. When he spoke, DA A used his bare hand to pull the mask down and speak with other kitchen staff. He bent over and grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it up to his eye, which exposed his bare back and boxers. He used the shirt to wipe his eyes then dropped the bottom of his shirt and continued to grab trays off the line and place them on the cart. DA A stated that he had been working in the kitchen for 8 months and expressed that if he was supposed to be wearing gloves, he had not worn any since his initial employment and no one had enforced it. He explained that the reason he kept touching his face mask was because his glasses pushed it down and he was aware that there was Covid inside of the facility. During the interview, with his bare hands, DA A touched his pants, arm, jewelry, key chain, and scratched his hair underneath his hair net. As he waited for the next line of plates, he was asked if he was supposed to touch different items outside of the plates and cart during services, which he responded I guess not while dropping the key chain. When asked if touching the different items could lead to cross contamination, he responded I guess so. The interview was ended In an interview on 08/21/24 at 12:22 p.m., DM A was made aware that DA A was not wearing gloves or washing his hands and touched multiple unclean services while preparing lunch, she stated that she would let him know.

She stated that he knew he should have worn gloves during service. In an interview on 08/21/24 at 2:22 p.m., DM A stated that she would talk to DA A about not being sanitary during service and he would be in-serviced. She explained that the harm in having poor sanitary practices in the kitchen would be cross contamination. If DA A was sick and did not wash his hands, he could have passed it to someone else, especially with Covid in the building. She also felt that he needed to review the training given during the food handlers training. Record review of the facility's Food and Safety sanitation policy reviewed 07/22/21 revealed: a.
