Why is Proper Management of Food Scraps Important?
Proper management of food scraps is vital for several reasons:
1. Infection Control: Mishandled food scraps can become a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to infections among patients who are already vulnerable. 2. Environmental Impact: Reducing food waste and properly disposing of food scraps helps reduce the environmental footprint of healthcare facilities. 3. Cost Efficiency: Effective management can reduce waste disposal costs and improve overall operational efficiency.
