Crew members reported the contractor was self-isolated at the time in his cabin and that his friends brought him food. The contractor who experienced symptoms, as well as other contractors onboard, were retrained. The ill crew member was given a final warning.
Recommendation: When nonfood employees meet the case definition for AGE, ensure the following actions are taken: (1) isolate in cabin or designated restricted area until symptom-free for a minimum of 24 hours; (2) follow-up with and receive approval by designated medical personnel before returning crew to work; (3) document the date and time of last symptom and clearance to return to work.

Site: Galley-Deck 3 Cooling Logs
Violation: On 5 December, three pans of poached eggs were measured above 135F between 0310 and 0351.

Crew stated the food went directly onto time control; however, there was no food on time control at that time, and the comments stated, 'ice bath'. The log had the name of the crew member who completed the log, as well as a signature from a supervisor. During the inspection, a senior supervisor explained that this was likely a documentation error and confirmed there was no time control at that time. The same food product was cooled on other days, and those products were rapidly cooled by the first temperature check.
Recommendation: Ensure logs documenting cooked potentially hazardous food cooling temperatures and times from the starting points designated in 7.3.5.2.1 through the control points at 2 and 6 hours are maintained onboard the vessel for a period of 30 days from the date the food was placed in the cooling process.
