Summary
During a kitchen inspection, surveyors observed a sack of potatoes and a sack of onions stored on a wire rack. The potatoes were found to be mushy with bulging sprouts, and the onions were green, soft, and mushy. The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) confirmed that the potatoes and onions were not fresh and should have been disposed of. This failure to properly store and dispose of spoiled food items constituted a deficiency in maintaining safe and sanitary food storage practices for the facility's 129 residents who consumed food prepared by the facility.
