Summary
During a kitchen inspection, surveyors observed a buildup of an unknown dark substance, dust, debris, a screwdriver, and several plastic lids under a freezer in the main kitchen area. Additionally, there was a buildup of dust and debris under the shelves in the dry storage room. The dietary supervisor acknowledged that these areas should have been cleaned. Review of the facility's policy on cleaning floors, tables, and chairs confirmed that kitchen floors are required to be kept clean and sanitary. These findings indicate that the facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment for food service as required by professional standards.
