Our daycare director told us today that they were no longer allowed to cook pasta for the kids unless they had a chef. It was a law that passed recently, maybe a month or two ago. I'm trying to find the link now, but it's absolutely ridiculous. The daycare center my daughter attends has a full kitchen. They can cook anything they want, except pasta! I guess boiling water and throwing in noodles is too complicated for daycare providers. :whatever:
Just a small rant.

Probably has to be a certified/licensed food technician, or some such nonsense.
-
That's weird. I'd love to hear the story on that one.

I'd wager it doesn't really have so much to do with pasta, but just in the preparation of food. Usually, a TB test is required for food handlers, and there is often a certification that food handlers have to go through that addresses cleanliness and foodborne illnesses more than any kind of food prep skill.
Government bureaucracy at its finest.

I'd ask the daycare to quote the law.

And a ^5 to you my dear.
I had to have a TB test to work in Nursing in VA. After a few years a spunky woman challenged the law and to the surprise of all nurses working in hospitals nursing homes and state health care there was no such law. Everyone just assumed there was one.
Small town Newington NH had for years fined people for open container violations in their town. In past 50 years must have raked in mega bucks for the offence. Along comes some Kid going to Community College for Legal Aid and found the town had no such law. The courts, police, everyone just assumed they had that law.
Food handlers requiring that test, sounds like something out of the days of Typhoid Mary, Heck most places do not require their staff to wear gloves or hair nets.
Even the big pay government inspectors are not up on the laws. High up dude that could shut down a huge plant came in to inspect followed by his flunkies. He never spoke a word but to his entourage and they spoke to us.
I was told I needed gloves for my job and without question did so. Later I found that the job I was doing did not require gloves, it was his mistake. Naturally he just went off in a huff, [ new fangled Limo] like he was the Captain of the Pinafore.
If day care centers need a qualified Chief to make pasta then should not any establishmen require a qualified chef.??
Fast food restaurants, the guy selling icecream or hot dogs from a truck? How about the TeX Mex and Asian restaurants??? I wonder how many public and private schools that serve kids lunch have a qualified Chief in the kitchen with a certified food safety course under their belt.
Any one can take a 6 hour course in safe food handling but that does not mean they are a Chief, cook or bottle washer. BTW it drives me nuts to watch the cooking shows where the Celebrity Chiefs wear their jewelry and handle food. One big name had just made a meat loaf both hands in it wearing a ring the size of the Star of India wiped off their hands on a paper towel and went on to make a salad---------YUCK.

Sure thing. I'll have my husband ask for a copy of it. I had no luck hunting it down last night, but will try again. I'm not too good with the nadin machine. I guess I never use the right keywords.

We did have the AFLICU****U union boss here the other day fighting for one of our casino chains to unionize. The culinary workers... I think?
