He said he would be in-servicing the staff and would have them show the temperature logs before leaving for the day. He said he expected his cooks to check the foods to ensure they were cooked to the appropriate temperatures before serving. He said they had been short staffed recently, but that was no excuse for not checking the temperatures of the foods. He said all residents in the facility, except for two residents who were tube fed, ate from the facility kitchen.
