[KavkazUzel] A cook and a dietician of the Tamisk sanatorium in the Alagir region of North Ossetia have been charged with providing services that do not comply with safety rules. The cook cooked the meat seven hours before dinner, and the nurse, who did not come to work that day, did not monitor compliance with the standards. As a result, 12 children were hospitalized with food poisoning, the investigation said today. As "Caucasian Knot" wrote, 12 children with signs of food poisoning were admitted to the infectious diseases department of the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital in Vladikavkaz from the Tamisk sanatorium from August 14 to August 16 . The next day, the Ministry of Health of North Ossetia reported that the children were in a state of moderate severity. The sanatorium is closed and checks are being carried out there. All the children were taken by their parents, Rospotrebnadzor reported. The investigation has brought charges against the cook and the dietician of the sanatorium in the Alagirsky district of North Ossetia for providing services that do not meet the health safety requirements of consumers, the North Ossetian ICR Department reported today. According to the investigation, on August 13, at about 1200 hrs Moscow time, the cook prepared chicken meat and, in violation of the rules, instructed the employees of the sanatorium to serve the dish for dinner. On the same day, at about 1900 hrs Moscow time, the workers of the sanatorium's catering unit, in the absence of control from the dietician, who did not come to work that day, served chicken meat for dinner, which had already been spoiled, according to a message on the department's website.
