Summary

St. Joseph Manor was found to be non-compliant with food safety requirements as per 42 CFR Part 483, Subpart B, and the 28 Pa. Code. The facility failed to store and serve food in a sanitary manner, which could potentially lead to foodborne illness. During a kitchen tour, debris was observed at the bottom of the stand-up ice cream freezer. Additionally, four bins containing dry goods such as white rice, flour, thickened liquid product, sugar, and brown rice had scoops stored inside them, directly on top of the dry goods. A container of whipped cream in the refrigerator was neither labeled nor dated. In the dry goods storage room, several food items were found opened and re-sealed without proper labeling or dating, including a bag of cereal, spaghetti, penne pasta, long grain rice, and tortilla chips. A box of kosher salt was opened and stored unsealed and undated on a shelf, alongside a container of Old Bay seasoning that was opened, without a lid, and undated. The Director of Dietary Dining Services confirmed that all opened food should be re-sealed, labeled, and dated, and that scoops should not be stored inside the dry storage bins.

Plan Of Correction

All food items will be properly sealed, stored, labeled and dated. Food service staff will be in-serviced on proper food storage, labeling, and dating of food. Each food service worker will sign the in-service training form to acknowledge their understanding of the policies and procedures for food storage and handling. Director of Dining Services or designee will audit all food storage areas at least weekly to assure compliance of food storage and handling. The audit results will be retained by Dining Service Director for review by QAPI and NHA. The audit forms will be submitted to the QAPI committee for the next six months. Any compliance challenges identified in this area will be immediately addressed by the Dining Service Director. A compliance book will be created and will hold: - Copies of staff training on food storage, labeling and dating - Food storage area audit sheets - Weekly (one audit sheet for each area, each week) - Report for monthly QAPI meeting reflecting ongoing compliance
