A Not So Thankful Thanksgiving Dinner
A Thanksgiving dinner, catered by a nearby food establishment, left 40 employees with symptoms of food borne illness. All suffered from nausea, diarrhea, body aches, chills and fever within several hours after eating the turkey dinner.
Investigators from the local regulatory agency interviewed the supervisors and food workers to determine how the food was prepared. According to the report, four (4) 18 to 20 pound frozen turkeys were placed in the walk-in refrigerator to thaw on November 17.
The turkeys were cooked on the morning of November 20 (Thanksgiving Day), No product temperatures were taken, but the turkeys had pop- up thermometers that indicated when the birds were done. Immediately following cooking, the turkeys were covered with foil and placed in the walk in – refrigerator. Later that day, for the company’s Thanksgiving Dinner the turkeys were reheated, sliced, and placed into hot holding units to be transported to the company’s dinner. The food workers indicated that product temperatures were not routinely monitored during cooling and reheating.
