Summary
The facility failed to store food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety in the main kitchen area. During observations, uncovered scoops were found on top of flour and sugar bins, and a bag of frozen green beans and four frozen turkey burgers in the freezer were not labeled or dated. In the walk-in refrigerator, ten containers of yogurt were observed with a use by date, and in the dry storage room, an open box of pancake mix was found with a use by date. An interview with a staff member confirmed that scoops should not be stored uncovered, all items should be labeled and dated, and expired items should have been disposed of, as per facility policy.
