Deficiencies in Food Storage, Labeling, and Staff Hygiene Practices
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple deficiencies in the facility's food service operations. In the dry food storage area, several dented cans, including diced peaches, tomato soup, and apple filling, were found on the shelf and available for use. In the kitchen's reach-in cooler near the steam table, a steamtable pan covered in plastic wrap was not labeled or dated. Additionally, in the back storage room/break room area, four trays containing dishes of food out of their original containers were labeled only with the meal and date, but not with the contents of the individual dishes. Furthermore, two kitchen staff members with facial hair were observed in the food preparation area without facial hair restraints. These findings were confirmed with the Food Service Director at the time of observation.
