Expired Nutritional Shakes Found in Nourishment Room
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that four containers of fortified nutritional shake with nectar consistency, all past their use-by date, were found stored in one of the two nourishment rooms. The expired products were discovered during an inspection of the east side nourishment room. The Dietary Manager, when interviewed, stated she was unaware of how the expired containers were missed, despite conducting daily inspections of both nourishment rooms. She suggested that newer staff may have stocked the room incorrectly by placing newer products in front of older ones, which could have led to the expired items being overlooked. The Administrator confirmed awareness of the expired products and stated that all food products should be inspected and removed if expired.
