I sent this info to Debbie McKenzie, the food service director. She was excited to hear about and plans to apply for schools that are eligible.

My high school had a salad bar and a middle school I worked in had a salad bar and both were heavily used and didn't have a problem with people being nasty. A cafeteria worker kept an eye on it. It was a very welcome change from pizza and tater tots. I hope one of our schools applies and wins.

I was thinking an armed guard might replace the sneeze guard and that would work.

Sort of with you there sshookup on the open salad bar. Last one I did (and BELIEVE me it was a LONG time ago), I observed a worker picking up dropped tongs OFF the FLOOR and directly plopping them back in the salad bar. But who knows what goes on in any "kitchen", be it restaurant or schools. Inspections are sparse at best.
I'd agree with some sort of healthy prepared salad offering from a reputable source and (hate to say it, but packaged)!

There was a salad bar at both my middle and high school. Very heavily used and usually pretty clean.

If that is the case TODAY, then fine. |

Who's to say that a piece of that packaged salad didn't hit the floor before it was picked up and added to rest of the mix? Pre packaged doesn't guarantee it is more germ free. |

I'm just saying perhaps less chance of additional contamination if prepared by professionals then sealed in a container vs. an open bar. I no longer buy those bagged mixes in the grocery because of the high rate of recalls. Dang sure not eating off of anything that has a sneeze bar and a bunch of general public strangers rifling through it. JMO |
