Deficient Kitchen Sanitation and Equipment Cleanliness
Penalty
Summary
Surveyor observations during an initial tour of the main kitchen, in the presence of the Food Service Director (FSD), revealed several deficiencies in food storage, preparation, and cleanliness. Specifically, a white component inside the ice machine was found to have black and pink matter that could be wiped away with a paper towel. A Kitchen Aid appliance was observed covered with a clear plastic bag, with a dark brown liquid leaking from a seam onto both the bag and the appliance. Additionally, there was an accumulation of a grease-like residue on the exhaust hoods above the stove and griddle, with a sticker indicating the hoods had last been cleaned several months prior. The FSD acknowledged these findings and confirmed that these areas should have been cleaned.
