55	NEWTON CENTER	205012	35 JULY STREET	SANFORD	ME	4073	2018-12-13	812	D	0	1	IWWA11	Based on observations and interview, the facility failed to serve food in a sanitary manner on 1 of 3 survey days. Finding: On 12/13/18 at 9:04 a.m., two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) entered the 100 Unit kitchenette. CNA #1 removed bread from a bread bag with ungloved hands and placed the bread in a toaster. CNA #2 also removed bread from the bread bag with ungloved hands and awaited use of the toaster. With ungloved hands, CNA #1 removed the toast from the toaster and placed it on a plate. The surveyor intervened and discussed the practice of handling ready to eat foods with bare hands. The CNAs then obtained gloves to handle ready to eat foods. At 12/13/18 on 11:00 a.m. in an interview with the Manager of Food Services and Chef, the surveyor confirmed that staff cannot handle ready to eat foods with bare hands.	2020-09-01
