F812 FOOD SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS
The Facility Must:
• §483.60(i)(1) - Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory by Federal, State or local authorities.• (i)This may include food items directly from local
producers, subject to applicable State and local laws/regulations.
• (ii) This provision does not prohibit or prevent facilities from using produce grown in facility gardens, subject to compliance with applicable safe growing and food-handling practices.
• (iii) This provision does not preclude residents from consuming goods and procured by the facility.

F812 INTENT
• The intent of this requirement is to ensure that the facility:
• Obtains food for resident consumption from sources approved or considered satisfactory by Federal, State, local authorities; and
• Follows proper sanitation and food handling practices to prevent the outbreak of foodborne illness. Safe food handling for the prevention of foodborne illnesses begins when food is received from the vendor and continues throughout the facility’s food handling processes.

F813 Personal Food Policy
The facility must:
• §483.60(i)(3) Have a policy regarding use and storage of foods brought to residents by family and other visitors to ensure safe and sanitary storage, handling, and consumption.
![Page 6: The Essentials of Health Care Food Safety - nehca.org › ... › Essentials-of-Health-Care-Food-Safety-1.… · •Obtains food for resident consumption from sources approved or](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f13f5bce743ee432a605f9a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
F813 GUIDANCE
• The facility must have a policy regarding food brought to residents by family and other visitors. The policy must also include ensuring facility staff assists the resident in accessing and consuming the food., if the resident is not able to do so on his or her own. The facility also is responsible for storing food brought in by family or visitors in a way that is either separate or easily distinguishable from facility food.
• The facility has a responsibility to help family and visitors understand safe food handing practices. If the facility is assisting family or visitors with reheating or other preparation activities, facility must use safe food handling practices.

F814 DISPOSE OF GARBAGE AND REFUGE
PROPERLY
• 483.60(i)(4) Dispose of Garbage and Refuge Properly
Interpretive Guidelines
• The intent of this regulation is to assure that garbage and refuse be properly disposed.
![Page 8: The Essentials of Health Care Food Safety - nehca.org › ... › Essentials-of-Health-Care-Food-Safety-1.… · •Obtains food for resident consumption from sources approved or](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f13f5bce743ee432a605f9a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sanitary Condition
“Sanitary conditions” is defined as storing, preparing, distributing, and serving food properly to prevent food borne illness.
Potentially hazardous foods must be subject to continuous time/temperature controls in order to prevent either the rapid and progressive growth of infectious or toxigenic micro-organisms such as Salmonella or the slower growth of Clostridium Botulinum.
In addition, foods of plant origin become potentially hazardous when the skin, husk, peel, or rind is breached, thereby possibly contaminating the fruit or vegetable with disease causing micro-organisms.
Potentially hazardous food tends to focus on animal products, including but not limited to milk, eggs and poultry.

Food Borne Illness
• An illness caused by bacteria or other pathogen in food.
• Who is at risk?• Very young children
• Pregnant Women
• Elderly
• People with compromised immune systems

Type of Contaminants
• Biological- Bacteria, viruses & parasites
• Physical – hair, glass, metal shavings, etc.
• Chemical – cleaning chemicals, improper concentration of sanitizer
PREVENTION IS IMPORTANT
![Page 11: The Essentials of Health Care Food Safety - nehca.org › ... › Essentials-of-Health-Care-Food-Safety-1.… · •Obtains food for resident consumption from sources approved or](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f13f5bce743ee432a605f9a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bacteria – greatest concern
• Living, single-celled organisms
• Carried by food, water, soil, humans, or insects
• Reproduce rapidly
• Some can survive freezing
• Some can turn into spores, a change that protects them form unfavorable conditions
• Some can produce toxins, which are not typically destroyed by cooking.

FAT TOM: What microorganisms need to grow
• Food• Specifically protein and carbohydrate• These proteins are commonly found in potentially hazardous
food items such as meat, poultry, dairy products, and eggs.
• Acidity• Do not grow in alkaline or highly acid environments• Grow best in slightly acidic or neutral pH of 4.6-7.5
• Temperature• Most grow well between 41-135° F – DANGER ZONE• Exposing to temps outside the danger zone does not guarantee
to kill microorganism• Food must be handled carefully when it is thawed, cooked, and
reheated
![Page 20: The Essentials of Health Care Food Safety - nehca.org › ... › Essentials-of-Health-Care-Food-Safety-1.… · •Obtains food for resident consumption from sources approved or](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f13f5bce743ee432a605f9a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
FAT TOM
• Time• Bacteria can double in 20 min, limit time in danger zone
• Oxygen• Some need oxygen and others don’t
• Moisture• Require water to grow, moist food items potentially
hazardous food items
