Improper Food Storage and Handling Practices Observed
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple instances of improper food storage, preparation, and service that did not meet professional standards for food safety. On two separate days, the walk-in freezer contained several open and exposed food items, including veggie lasagna, pasta with meat sauce showing freezer burn, pizza with partially peeled plastic wrap, raw Philly chicken slices, and various packages of vegetables and meats that were open and undated. Additionally, in the dayroom refrigerator, there was a half gallon of milk past its expiration date, several open and undated containers of juices, and a pint of raspberries that were shriveled and moldy. These conditions were confirmed by the Dietary Supervisor and a CNA during the survey observations. No information about specific residents or their medical conditions was provided in relation to the deficiency.
