FRONT OF THE HOUSE (FOH) Controlling food safety hazards in the front-of-the-house is an important step to keeping consumers and residents safe from foodborne illness. Everyone works hard in the kitchen to ensure that food is received and stored at the right temperature, thawed properly, cooked to the correct temperature, etc. But, what happens once food leaves the kitchen? Employees putting food on steamtables, delivering food to tables and in senior living communities helping residents to consume food at their tables also need to understand and demonstrate food safety competency. Two areas for front-ofthe-house staff to concentrate on for food safety are employee sanitation/personal hygiene and holding/serving food. EMPLOYEE SANITATION & PERSONAL HYGIENE
HOLDING & SERVING FOOD
It is imperative that employees do the following:
• Foods need to be held for service outside of the temperature danger zone.
• Demonstrate proper handwashing.
• Hot foods need to be held at an internal temperature of 135°F or higher.
• Have no bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods. • Demonstrate proper handling techniques such as preventing eating surfaces from coming into contact with clothing and handling cups and silverware by their outsides and handles.
• Cold foods need to be held at an internal temperature of 41°F or lower. • Check food temperatures at least every four hours, and throw out food that is between 41°F and 135°F (the temperature danger zone). Or, you can also check food temperatures every two hours, which will leave you time for corrective action.
• Have open areas on their skin covered. • Maintain appropriate hygiene after direct contact with a resident’s skin or secretions. • Wear clean clothes. • Leave jewelry off. • Have neatly-trimmed nails free from nail polish. • Wear hair restraints if serving from the steamtable or going into the kitchen. • Stay home from work for at least 24 hours until symptom-free from fever, diarrhea or vomiting.
• Get foods to the steamtable just in time for service. It is not ideal to leave food sitting in the steamtable for long periods before it will be consumed. Batch cook food and bring to the steamtable as needed for increased quality and safety. Do not mix new batches of food with old batches. • Use separate, clean and sanitized utensils for each food item. Store serving utensils with the handle extended above the rim of the container when not in use, or place them on a clean, sanitized food-contact surface.
• Have a written release from a medical practitioner to come back to work if they’ve been diagnosed with a foodborne illness caused by Hepatitis A, Norovirus, Salmonella Typhi, Shigella or E.coli or have had jaundice.
FOOD CODE UPDATE
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration released the 2017 edition of the Food Code on February 12, 2018.
Significant changes include: • Revised requirement for the Person in Charge (PIC) to be a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM). • A new section addresses the use of bandages, finger cots and fingerstalls. • Cooking time/temperature parameters have been harmonized for intact and non-intact meat and poultry in accordance with guidance from the USDA-FSIS.
• There are updated procedures for retail food establishment operations to continue during an extended water or electrical outage if a written emergency plan has been pre-approved by the regulatory agency. • Plain language descriptors have been used throughout the food code.

SENIOR LIVING
Handling Food Complaints Erika D. Kramer, LNHA
& Resident-CenteRed CaRe
Martin Bros. Healthcare Market Developer BASED ON RECIPE #1422
Starting November 28, 2017, the survey process for nursing homes changed. This change focused on resident-centered care, which surveyors will be evaluating through resident observations and resident or representative interviews. Now more than ever, you want to make sure that your residents are satisfied, and food has been and probably always will be a top amenity to make sure that your residents are happy about. When residents are not happy with the food and are making complaints about it, make sure you take steps to identify exactly what they are referring to and address that specific problem.
5 common complaints and ideas for addressing them:
1
4
2
5
FOOD IS TOO SALTY
Make sure you are using spices and seasonings to enhance the taste of your food, and not just salt and pepper. By incorporating different spices, you can easily add flavor to your food without making it too salty. There are a lot of great low-sodium and saltfree seasoning blends that you can also use to bring delicious and unique flares to meat, potatoes and vegetables!
FOOD IS TOO COLD
This is always a tough complaint to fix. Start by evaluating how the residents making this complaint are dining. If they are usually eating in their rooms, there is a good chance their food is not holding its temperature during travel time. Make sure you are utilizing the many meal service and insulated food transport products available to deliver resident meals, and look at other ways you can keep food hotter for a longer period of time – such as by heating plates before you put food on them or upgrading your steamtable.

LACK OF OPTIONS OR CHOICES
If you are willing to make something special for residents who do not care for the main meal, consider posting other options at the table. Think of easy alternatives such as an egg sandwich or a grilled cheese. These could be your “alwaysavailable options”. Then, train your staff to offer these choices if the main entrée is not what a guest is in the mood for.
LACK OF HEALTHY OPTIONS
This complaint might be something you can deal with by looking at your always-available options again. Can you add some more healthy options to this list? Marketing what you are offering and indicating healthy options with an icon can really help combat this complaint.
Working with your team to find solutions to what your residents see as problems will not only keep your residents happy but also help your surveys be successful!
LOOK OF FOOD
People eat with their eyes. If you are sticking with three circles of food and putting them on a white plate, you can easily correct this problem. Talk with your team about doing simple things like adding garnishes or slicing meat and stacking it on the mashed potatoes instead of on its own, or consider investing in colored plates to add contrast.
