Summary
The facility failed to provide palatable food by serving scorched beans to residents. During observation, the beans were noted to have a strong smoky smell and contained small bits of black burnt substance. Upon tasting, the beans had an overcooked, burnt flavor. The Culinary Account Manager confirmed that the beans had been scorched during preparation and acknowledged that the cook had scraped the bottom of the pan, resulting in the burnt product being served. This deficiency was identified as a random opportunity of discovery and had the potential to affect a limited number of residents in the facility.
