Summary
During a survey, it was observed that an open package of sliced turkey in the walk-in refrigerator was not labeled or dated, contrary to facility policy requiring all open food items to be labeled with an opened date and an expiration date. Additionally, expired containers of 2% milk were found in the East Wing and Secured Unit nourishment rooms. The Dietary Manager confirmed that dietary staff were responsible for stocking and removing expired items from these rooms, and acknowledged that the expired milk should have been removed. The Administrator stated that no one was assigned to check the nourishment rooms on weekends, which resulted in the expired milk remaining in place.
