Failure to Properly Label, Date, and Monitor Food Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store and serve food and beverages in accordance with professional standards for food safety, as evidenced by observations and staff interviews. In the main kitchen's walk-in freezer, three packages of naan bread were found outside of their cardboard case and were not date marked, contrary to the facility's policy requiring all food items to be labeled with a manufacturer or handwritten label and dated upon receipt. Additionally, a review of the food temperature logs in the kitchenette revealed that food temperatures were not recorded for eight dinner meals over the past 27 days, despite facility policy mandating that food temperatures be recorded for all hot and cold foods prior to meal service. Staff interviews confirmed that these procedures were not followed as required.
