Summary
During an observational tour of the kitchen, surveyors identified several deficiencies related to food storage, preparation, and service. Chicken pieces were found in the freezer in a broken, sealed package with some parts exposed outside the wrapping and only covered in plastic wrap; kitchen staff stated the chicken was received from the supplier in that condition. Additionally, staff were seen using a scoop to serve rice and did not follow the proper process for sanitizing utensils, specifically failing to allow the utensil to air dry after sanitizing. The kitchen supervisor was also observed near the food serving area without wearing a hairnet.
