A food employee had an onset of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) symptoms on 20 July 2025 at 1700 and reported to medical on 21 July at 1650. According to their timecard, they worked on 20 July from 1709 - 2239 and on 21 July from 0707 - 1025 and 1216 - 1403. They had a cabin mate.
A food employee had an onset of AGE symptoms on 30 June at 0100 and reported to medical that day at 1130. According to their timecard, they worked from 0700 - 1130. They had two cabin mates. According to their Food Traceback for Food Handler's with AGE form, they were preparing provolone cheese during work hours. The form stated 'standard action plan was then implemented' and not the actual disposition of the food.
|
Recommendation:
When food 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 48 hours; (2) follow-up with and receive approval by designated medical personnel before returning crew to work; (3) document date and time of last symptom and clearance to return to work. Ensure the food employee's supervisor or person in charge conducts an assessment of food prepared or served by the food employee while symptomatic and take appropriate corrective actions. Document corrective actions taken as a result of the assessment. Maintain records for 1 year and make them available for review during inspections. Review [when possible] any AGE cases among passengers or crew reported after the ill food employee?s symptom onset for epidemiologic link/connection. Appropriate corrective actions could include discarding ready-to eat food, thoroughly cooking raw food, and disinfecting the food area and equipment.
