Summary
During an initial kitchen tour, surveyors observed three opened, unlabeled bags of bread stored on a steel cart in the kitchen, as well as three 14-ounce containers of beef flavored base that were also unlabeled and stored with other seasonings. The Dietary Manager confirmed that the bread bags were expected to be labeled and that two of the containers actually contained chicken flavored base, which had been transferred from a larger container in the cooler. These observations indicated that the facility failed to properly store and label food items to maintain their integrity, as required by professional standards.
