The kitchen aide starts the tray set up with pellet warmer, utensils, and meal ticket. Then the tray is slid down on a steel table to the cook who reads the meal ticket off the tray touching the ticket with their gloved hand, then distributes the foods they read off the ticket and then places the plate onto the tray. During this time several items had been missed which were picked up by other staff and corrected. During these observations multiple times kitchen staff are reaching and placing items from different areas to meet the needs of the resident's meal tickets but failing to maintain safe food handling by touching multiple different surface areas and not changing gloves. 2020-09-01
