Summary
The facility failed to properly store, label, and date food items and did not monitor expiration dates of food products in the Main Kitchen. During an observation in the Main Kitchen Walk-in Cooler, an opened bag of French fries was found unsealed, unlabeled, and undated. Additionally, a plastic bag containing bologna, a plastic bag of pepperoni, and a plastic bag of turkey were all marked with use-by dates that had already passed. A container of pureed egg salad was also found with a use-by date that had expired. The Food Service Director confirmed these findings and acknowledged that the facility did not adhere to its own policies regarding food storage, labeling, dating, and monitoring of expiration dates.
