Failed findings

  • Adequate Handwashing/Where/When/Howcritical
    Inspector note: Observed food handler cleaning equipment & then handing ready to eat food with same gloves on. Observed food handler in basement leaving work station and returning wearing same gloves. Observed no hand washing performed by food handlers. One hand sink unaccessable and another has no running hot water (in food prep area). Proper Glove Use-Food Service Establishments Training Tips: Single-use disposable gloves have become a popular way to abide by the “No bare hand contact of ready-to-eat (RTE) foods.” regulation. Single- use gloves are only as clean as the hands that don them. Washing hands thoroughly before and after wearing or changing gloves is one of the most important things food handlers can do. However some food operators may get a false sense of security or worse yet; use gloves as an excuse not to properly wash their hands and overuse the single-use gloves thus defeating their purpose. Gloves are in fact an excellent way to reduce the possibility of contaminating ready-to-eat foods and serve as an extra precautionary measure. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “Gloves reduce hand contamination by 70 to 80% and prevent cross-contamination”. But the key to their efficacy is coupled with proper hygienic practices. Some important tips to remember; • Gloves are task specific and should NEVER be worn continuously. They get contaminated just as bare hands do so change them out frequently. • Wash your hands properly in between these changes i.e. (a 20 second scrub with soap warm water and don’t forget to dry off with a clean paper towel). • Gloves are not a stand-alone protective barrier. As mentioned above they are not 100% effective but when combined with proper hand washing they significantly reduce the possibility of contaminating your customer’s food. • Gloves can still cross-contaminate. Don’t touch the ready-to-eat food if you have just handled a raw piece of meat or eggs. Throw away the gloves wash your hands and put on a new pair. • If you touch a dirty surface with your glove (hair nose clothing floor equipment or utensils) the glove is dirty and you need to change them after washing your hands. • Bacteria from your skin continue to grow while underneath the gloves and that is why it is important to wash between handling the new gloves. Don’t pre-contaminate your gloves. • Non-latex gloves are recommended in Massachusetts. Keep a box of gloves in a readily accessible area. Perhaps by the hand wash sink. Being careful not to contaminate them here either. • Gloves used for food contact should not be used for money trash cleaning of soiled surfaces Just remember the single-use gloves are meant to protect the food from you not you from the food. Use these tips as we all work together to protect our health and safety.
