Case Study
Melanie works in a service where her job is to prepare and serve the children their snacks and lunch. Last night, Melanie became unwell with stomach cramps and today she is still feeling ill.
Melanie starts work and goes straight into the kitchen to start chopping fruit for the morning snack. While doing so, she remembers she needs to chop chicken for the children’s lunch. Melanie moves some of the fruit off the board and uses the space to cut up the chicken. She places the chicken pieces back on the top shelf of the fridge, then gets back to cutting the fruit on the board.
Just as Melanie is about to pick up the finished fruit plate, she sneezes, making sure she does not sneeze on the plate of food. She blows her nose, then puts her tissue in the bin and takes the fruit to serve to the children.
Melanie is planning to have the children thread the pieces of fruit onto a small skewer as a simple cooking experience. She calls the children in from play and gets them to sit at the table. She shows them how to thread by choosing a piece of fruit from the large platter, picking it up and threading it on the skewer.
The children are excited to participate. George wants to have orange on his fruit kebab, but when he picks it up he realises it is too squishy and replaces it on the plate. He chooses a piece of kiwi and threads it. He pushes it too hard and it
eaks off, falling onto the floor. Melanie says she will help him. She picks up the kiwi fruit and threads it onto George’s skewer. George quickly eats the kiwi piece and asks Melanie to thread another piece of fruit for him.
Melanie’s supervisor is concerned about Melanie’s actions. He realises that food policy has not been reviewed for some time.
