Summary
Staff failed to properly test dishwashing sanitization chemicals and did not ensure that opened food items were labeled and dated. During a kitchen and dining area tour, surveyors observed an open, undated gallon of milk in the refrigerator. Dietary staff confirmed that dishes were being washed by hand in a three-sink system using hot water and chemicals, but there were no test strips available to verify the effectiveness of the sanitization process, nor was there a log to review. Staff also acknowledged that all opened food items should be labeled and dated, but this was not done for the milk observed during the inspection.
