Seniors in Saskatchewan care home served beef roast seasoned with hand cleaner
CARROT RIVER, Sask. — The Saskatchewan Health Authority is apologizing to residents of a long-term care home who were knowingly served a beef roast that had been seasoned with hand cleaner.
Some 35 seniors live at the Carrot River Health Centre, about 285 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.
The health authority says in a statement that an employee put powdered hand cleaner into a spice container, but didn’t change the label before leaving the jar by the kitchen sink.
It says another employee, not knowing what was really in the jar, used its contents to season a roast.
