PREPARETION OF SAFE FOODS IN HOSPITAL KITCHEN AND PATIENT NUTRITION
PREPARETION OF SAFE FOODS IN HOSPITAL KITCHEN AND PATIENT NUTRITION
Food service, which is provided as a common service in the organization of a hospital, is also considered as a medical service. Food service in the hospital is for feeding the staff and also contributes to the treatment process of the patients. Food service at hospitals, apart from the production and distribution process as a catering service also includes controlling raw materials and testing them for their acceptance. All the processes such as selection of menu, procurement of materials, preperation of the meals, and presentation are highly important in food services. This study has been carried out at a public hospital in Istanbul in order to determine the convenient type of diets for patients and the conditions for assurance of food safety in hospital kitchens for preparation of safe foods for personnel and patients. Food production area of the hospital has been examined according to steps of ISO 22000 (HAccP) system and were followed whether the system rules are applied or not. As it is known, assurance of food safety systems is elimination and prevention of the contamination of biological, physical and chemical hazards from foods. In order to produce safe foods in hospital kitchens hygienic conditions, good infrastructure and well trained personnel are needed and ISO 22000 (HAccP) requirements should be followed.
