1. Kitchen was deep cleaned including all areas identified during the survey. Doors to walk-in/freezer and main kitchen door has been painted. A new seal for the freezer door has been ordered and will be replaced as soon as it comes in.
2. All dietary staff have been re-trained on proper procedures for changing gloves and washing hands before and during food preparation, We have placed signage in the prep area to ensure proper food sanatation practices are being followed reguarding the use of gloves and handwashing. Cleaning schedules have been implemented including daily, weekly and monthly cleaning duties to ensure cleanliness is maintained. All cooks have been re-trained regarding the use of pasturized eggs in any dishes that the eggs will not be cooked thoroughly and the Dietary manager will ensure that pasturized eggs are available when those items are on the menu.
3. This system will be evaluated monthly as part of our Continuous Quality Improvement program which includes a kitchen audit.
