>The papers revealed that of the 377 hospitals included, 173 - 46% - displayed poor levels of cleanliness in their kitchens or canteens and 68 did not fulfil the legal requirements for storing food.<
I cannot understand why anyone would be surprised at this. Americans have been replaced with 3rd world country employees in our kitchens and canteens.
FACT: 3rd world countries don’t have the same personal standards of cleanliness and food preservation that we do. The odd bug, or two or three in the food cabinet isn’t anything that they would be alarmed about.
And they would probably leave some food out for that odd bug or two or three because for all they know, that bug might be one of their recently departed relatives who have just been reincarnated.
