4665.2700 FOOD HANDLING PRACTICES.

Any food service provided in a supervised living facility shall be in accordance with chapter 4626 governing food and beverage service establishments. Wherever the food service in a supervised living facility is limited to serving ten residents or less, or where the main meals of the day are not prepared in the facility, certain variances from the requirements may be granted by the commissioner of health. These variances may include, but not be limited to, substitution of certain domestic type equipment for commercial type. When food is catered into a supervised living facility, it shall be obtained from a source acceptable to the commissioner of health and transported, handled, and served in accordance with provisions of applicable rules of the commissioner of health. It is recommended that the department's food handling guide entitled "Information for Food Service Personnel in Hospitals and Related Care Facilities" be made readily available for reference by all food service personnel.
