Summary
Surveyors observed that a dual-door, upright freezer used for food storage had condensation at the junction where both doors met, as well as a black substance on the top of the bottom freezer door. These conditions were noted on two consecutive days, and the freezer contained a bag of frozen cookie dough during both observations. The Certified Dietary Manager acknowledged that the freezer's condition was unacceptable and required cleaning. Facility policy on infection prevention and control included protocols for managing food safety, but these were not followed in this instance.
