Summary
A dietary cook did not follow the standardized recipe for preparing teriyaki sauce during lunch service, using 1 1/4 cups of low sodium soy sauce instead of the required 1 1/2 cups as specified for 48 residents. This deviation was observed during food preparation and confirmed in an interview with the dietary manager, who stated that all recipes approved by the registered dietitian should be followed to maintain food flavor and nutritional consistency. The facility's policy requires the use of approved, standardized recipes to meet the resident census.
