Summary
Kitchen staff failed to wear hair restraints appropriately, as observed when a dietary aide was seen in the kitchen with her hair not completely restrained, leaving her bangs and hair around her face exposed. The dietary manager confirmed that the aide should have worn her hair restraint to fully cover her hair, in accordance with FDA Food Code requirements for food safety. Additionally, multiple outdated and undated food items were found during two separate kitchen inspections. These included expired Hershey syrup, taco mix, flour and corn tortillas, and undated soup base and seasoning. The dietary manager acknowledged that these items should not have been present in the kitchen and should have been discarded.
